### Creating the Repository
24
-
25
-
Mintlify docs are rendered from MDX files and configurations defined in our
26
-
[starter kit](https://github.com/mintlify/starter). We use GitHub to integrate
27
-
your docs with your code, and make source control effortless.

If you've created a docs repo in our onboarding, this step is complete. You can find your docs repository on your Mintlify [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).

To create your docs repo without logging into GitHub, follow these instructions:
35
-
1. Clone our [starter template](https://github.com/mintlify/starter) into a new public repo. You can make the repo private later.
36
-
2. [Get in touch](mailto:[email protected]) with our team to deploy your repo.

2. If you've already created a repo through our onboarding, find it on your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com)
28
+
3. For manual setup, create your repo and [contact us](mailto:[email protected]) for deployment
The next step is to install our GitHub app. This ensures that your updates are automatically deployed when you push changes. You can find the installation link in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings), on the Settings page. Upon successful installation, a check mark will appear next to the commit hash of the repository.
35
+
<Accordionicon="message-bot"title="Install the GitHub app">
36
+
Install our GitHub app from your [dashboard settings](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings) for automatic deployments.
2. Once git is installed, clone your docs repository using `git clone <your-repo>`. If you haven't set it up yet, now would be a good time to do so with these [SSH keys](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent).

3. Use your favorite IDE to open the repository.
67

4. Install our Mintlify CLI to preview changes with `npm i -g mintlify`.
Learn more about this in our [local development guide](/development).
