Deploying

Deploy from a Git URL

Don't want to connect an account? Paste any public Git URL and Orizon clones it, detects the stack, and deploys it.

How it works

In the dashboard, open New and paste a repository URL — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or any public .git endpoint. Orizon does a shallow clone, runs stack detection on the real files, and proposes a build you can review before deploying.

shell

https://github.com/your-org/your-repo.git

Choosing a branch

By default Orizon deploys the repository's default branch. You can pick a different branch in the create flow, or pre-fill it via the URL when linking to the deploy page:

shell

https://dashboard.orizon.ng/new?repo=https://github.com/your-org/your-repo&branch=staging

The ?repo= and &branch= parameters power the Deploy to Orizon button — add a badge to your README so anyone can deploy your repo in one click.

Shipping updates

A Git-URL deploy is a point-in-time clone — it doesn't watch the repo for pushes. To ship a new version, trigger another deploy from the dashboard, the CLI, or the API. If you want automatic deploys on every push, connect the repo via GitHub instead.

Private repositories

For private repositories, connect your GitHub account — the Git-URL flow is intended for repos Orizon can clone without credentials.

From GitHub

Auto-deploy on every push, with status checks.
