Porter lets you deploy a service directly from a Git repository. By default, services on Porter automatically update whenever there is a push to the primary branch (usually main or master) of the connected repo.

Prerequisites

  • A repository (public or private) hosted on GitHub
  • A Kubernetes cluster and container registry linked to Porter (linked by default if you following the Getting Started guide)

These docs will guide you through getting your applications set up and integrated with Github:
