-
- **Prerequisites**: Before you begin, [create an account](https://mintlify.com/start) and complete onboarding.
+ **Prerequisites**: [Create an account](https://mintlify.com/start) and complete onboarding.
## Getting started
-After you complete the onboarding process, your documentation site automatically deploys to a unique URL with this format:
-
-```
-https://.mintlify.app
-```
-
-Find your URL on the Overview page of your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/).
-
-
- 
-
- 
-
-
-Your site's URL is available immediately. Use this URL for testing and sharing with your team while you are setting up your docs site.
+After onboarding, your site deploys to `https://.mintlify.app`. Find your URL on the [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/) Overview page.
### Install the GitHub App

-
+1. Navigate to **Settings** > **GitHub App** in your dashboard.
+2. Select **Install GitHub App** and choose your organization and repositories.
### Authorize your GitHub account
-1. Navigate to **Settings** in your Mintlify dashboard.

-## Editing workflows
-
-Mintlify offers two workflows for creating and maintaining your documentation:
-
-
- For users who prefer working with existing tools in their local environment. Click to jump to this section.
-
-
-
- For users who prefer a visual interface in their web browser. Click to jump to this section.
-
+Navigate to **Settings** > **My Profile** and select **Authorize GitHub account**.
## Code-based workflow
-The code-based workflow integrates with your existing development environment and Git repositories. This workflow is best for technical teams who want to manage documentation alongside code.
-
### Install the CLI
- **Prerequisite**: The CLI requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) v20.17.0 or higher through v24. LTS versions are preferred.
+ **Prerequisite**: Requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) v20.17.0 or higher through v24.
-To work locally with your documentation, install the Command Line Interface (CLI), called [mint](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mint), by running this command in your terminal:
-
```bash npm
npm i -g mint
```
-
```bash pnpm
pnpm add -g mint
```
-### Create a new project
-
-Run `mint new` to create a new documentation project. See the [CLI installation guide](/installation#create-a-new-project) for details on the command and flags.
-
-### Edit the documentation
+### Create and edit
-After setting up your project, you can start editing your documentation files. For example, update the title of the introduction page:
-
-1. Navigate to your documentation repository.
-2. Open `index.mdx` and locate the top of the file:
-
-```mdx index.mdx
----
-title: "Introduction"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
-```
-
-3. Update the `title` field to `"Hello World"`.

-### Push the changes
-
-When you are ready to publish your changes, push them to your repository.
-
-Mintlify automatically detects the changes, builds your documentation, and deploys the updates to your site. Monitor the deployment status in your GitHub repository commit history or the [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).

## Web editor workflow
-The web editor workflow provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface for creating and editing documentation. This workflow is best for people who want to work in their web browser without additional local development tools.
-
-### Access the web editor

## Adding a custom domain
-While your `.mintlify.app` subdomain works well for testing and development, most teams prefer using a custom domain for production documentation.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you encounter issues during the setup process, check these common troubleshooting solutions:
-
-
-
- Make sure you have Node.js v20.17.0 or higher installed and that you run the `mint dev` command from the directory containing your `docs.json` file.
-
-
- Deployment can take up to a few minutes. Check your GitHub Actions (for code-based workflow) or deployment logs in the Mintlify dashboard to ensure there are no build errors.
-
-
- Verify that your DNS records are set up correctly and allow sufficient time for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours). You can use tools like [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to verify your CNAME record.
