-This quickstart guide shows you how to set up and deploy your documentation site in minutes.
+Get your documentation site live in minutes with this step-by-step guide.
-After completing this guide, you will have a live documentation site ready to customize and expand.
+You'll go from zero to a fully deployed documentation site with custom branding and interactive features.
-**Prerequisites**: Before you begin, [create an account](https://mintlify.com/start) and complete onboarding.
+**What you'll need**: A [Mintlify account](https://mintlify.com/start) and 10 minutes of your time.
-## Getting started
+## Create your site
-After you complete the onboarding process, your documentation site automatically deploys to a unique URL with this format:
+Sign up for Mintlify and complete the onboarding flow. During setup, you'll:
+
+1. Choose a project name (this becomes your initial URL)
+2. Connect your GitHub repository
+3. Select your documentation framework
+
+Your site deploys automatically to:
```
-https://.mintlify.app
+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.
+This URL is live immediately - share it with your team while you customize your docs.
-### Install the GitHub App
+### Connect GitHub
-Mintlify provides a GitHub App that automates deployment when you push changes to your repository.
+The GitHub integration enables automatic deployments when you push changes.

+From your dashboard:
-1. Navigate to **Settings** in your Mintlify dashboard.
-2. Select **GitHub App** from the sidebar.
-3. Select **Install GitHub App**. This opens a new tab to the GitHub App installation page.
-4. Select the organization or user account where you want to install the app.
-5. Select the repositories that you want to connect.
+1. Go to **Settings** → **GitHub App**
+2. Click **Install GitHub App**
+3. Select your organization and repositories
+4. Authorize the connection
- 
- 
+
+
-
- Update the GitHub App permissions if you move your documentation to a different repository.
-
-
-### Authorize your GitHub account
-
-1. Navigate to **Settings** in your Mintlify dashboard.
-2. Select **My Profile** from the sidebar.
-3. Select **Authorize GitHub account**. This opens a new tab to the GitHub authorization page.
-
-
- An admin for your GitHub organization may need to authorize your account depending on your organization settings.
-
-
-## Editing workflows
+
+ You can change repository permissions later if you move your docs to a different repo.
+
-Mintlify offers two workflows for creating and maintaining your documentation:
+## Choose your workflow
-
- For users who prefer working with existing tools in their local environment. Click to jump to this section.
-
+Pick the editing experience that fits your team:
-
- For users who prefer a visual interface in their web browser. Click to jump to this section.
-
+
+
+ Edit with your favorite code editor and Git workflow
+
+
+ Visual editing directly in your browser
+
+
-## Code-based workflow
+## Local development
-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.
+Work with your documentation using familiar development tools and Git workflows.
### Install the CLI
-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:
+Install the Mintlify CLI to preview changes locally:
```bash npm
- npm i -g mint
+ npm install -g mint

- You need Node.js installed on your machine. If you encounter installation issues, check the troubleshooting guide.
-
+
+ Requires Node.js 18 or higher. Run `node --version` to check your version.
+
-### Edit the documentation
+### Make your first edit
-After setting up your environment, you can start editing your documentation files. For example, update the title of the introduction page:
+Let's customize your homepage:
-1. Open your repository created during onboarding.
-2. Open `index.mdx` and locate the top of the file:
+1. Clone your repository locally
+2. Open `index.mdx` in your editor
+3. Update the frontmatter:
```mdx index.mdx
---
-title: "Introduction"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
+title: "Welcome to our docs"
+description: "Everything you need to get started"

-```
-3. Update the `title` field to `"Hello World"`.
+# Getting started
-```mdx index.mdx {2}
----
-title: "Hello World"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
+This is your new documentation homepage. Start editing to make it your own.
```
-### Preview the changes
+### Preview locally
-To preview the changes locally, run the following command:
+Start the development server:
```bash
mint dev
```
-Your preview will be available at `localhost:3000`.
+Your site runs at `http://localhost:3000` with hot reloading enabled.
- 
- 
+
+
-### 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).
+### Deploy changes
-After the deployment completes, your latest update will be available at `.mintlify.app`.
+Push your changes to trigger automatic deployment:
-
- Optionally, skip the web editor workflow and jump to adding a custom domain.
-
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Update homepage"
+git push origin main
+```
-## Web editor workflow
+Your changes go live in under 2 minutes. Track deployment status in your dashboard or GitHub Actions.
-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.
+## Web editor

-
+For team workflows, create branches and pull requests directly in the editor.
-For more details about using the web editor, including using branches and pull requests to collaborate and preview changes, see our [web editor documentation](/editor/getting-started).
+Learn more in our [web editor guide](/editor/getting-started).
-## Adding a custom domain
+## Add a custom domain
-While your `.mintlify.app` subdomain works well for testing and development, most teams prefer using a custom domain for production documentation.
+Replace your `.mintlify.app` URL with your own domain for a professional look.
-To add a custom domain, navigate to the [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) page in your dashboard.
-
-
- 
- 
-
-
-Enter your domain (for example, `docs.yourcompany.com`) and follow the provided instructions to configure DNS settings with your domain provider.
+1. Go to **Settings** → **Custom Domain** in your dashboard
+2. Enter your domain (e.g., `docs.company.com`)
+3. Add this DNS record with your domain provider:
-| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
-|-------------|------|-------|-----|
-| CNAME | docs (or subdomain) | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
+| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
+|------|------|-------|-----|
+| CNAME | docs | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
+
+
+
+
+
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though changes often complete much sooner.
+ DNS changes typically take 5-30 minutes but can take up to 48 hours.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you encounter issues during the setup process, check these common troubleshooting solutions:
+## Need help?
-
- Make sure you have Node.js v19+ installed and that you run the `mint dev` command from the directory containing your `docs.json` file.
+
+ Ensure you have Node.js 18+ and run `mint dev` from your project root (where `docs.json` lives).
+
+
+ Check your GitHub Actions tab for build errors. Deployments typically take 1-3 minutes.
-
- Deployment can take upwards 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 your CNAME record points to `cname.mintlify.app`. Use [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org) to test propagation.
-
- 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.
