+
-## 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.
+## Code-first workflow
-### Install the CLI
+Perfect for teams that want documentation integrated with their development workflow. Write in markdown, commit with Git, and deploy automatically.
-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 before publishing:
-
+
```bash npm
npm i -g mint
```
+ ```bash yarn
+ yarn global add mint
+ ```
+
```bash pnpm
pnpm add -g mint
```
-
-
-
- You need Node.js installed on your machine. If you encounter installation issues, check the troubleshooting guide.
-
-
-### Edit the documentation
-
-After setting up your environment, you can start editing your documentation files. For example, update the title of the introduction page:
-
-1. Open your repository created during onboarding.
-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"`.
+
+ Requires Node.js v19 or higher. Check your version with `node --version`.
+
+
-```mdx index.mdx {2}
----
-title: "Hello World"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
-```
-
-### Preview the changes
-
-To preview the changes locally, run the following command:
-
-```bash
-mint dev
-```
-
-Your preview will be available at `localhost:3000`.
-
-
- 
- 
-
+
+ Open your repository and edit the introduction page to see the workflow in action:
-### Push the changes
+ In `index.mdx`, update the frontmatter:
-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).
-
-After the deployment completes, your latest update will be available at `.mintlify.app`.
-
-
- Optionally, skip the web editor workflow and jump to adding a custom domain.
-
-
-## 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
-
-1. Log in to your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
-2. Select **Editor** on the left sidebar.

-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).
-
-## 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.
-
-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.
-
-
-| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
-|-------------|------|-------|-----|
-| CNAME | docs (or subdomain) | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
-
-
-
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though changes often complete much sooner.
-
-
-## Next steps
-
-Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your documentation site with Mintlify. Here are suggested next steps to enhance your documentation:
-
-
- Configure site-wide styling, navigation, integrations, and more with the `docs.json` file.
+## Add your custom domain
+
+Transform your documentation from a testing URL to a professional branded experience.
+
+
+
+ Navigate to [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) in your dashboard.
+
+ Enter your preferred subdomain (like `docs.yourcompany.com`).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Add this CNAME record with your domain provider:
+
+ | Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
+ |-------------|------|-------|-----|
+ | CNAME | docs | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
+
+
+
+ Return to your Mintlify dashboard to verify the DNS configuration.
+
+
+ Once verified, your documentation will be available at your custom domain with automatic SSL certificates.
+
+
+
+ DNS propagation typically takes 5-30 minutes, though it can take up to 48 hours in rare cases.
+
+
+

+## 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.
-
-
- 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 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.
-
+
+ **Most common fixes:**
+ - Ensure you're running `mint dev` from the directory containing `docs.json`
+ - Verify you have Node.js v19+ installed: `node --version`
+ - Try clearing your terminal and running the command again
+
+ If you're still having issues, our [troubleshooting guide](/guides/troubleshooting) has more detailed solutions.
+
+
+
+ **Check these items:**
+ - Verify your GitHub App is installed and authorized
+ - Check the GitHub Actions tab in your repository for build errors
+ - Allow 1-2 minutes for deployment to complete
+ - Review deployment logs in your Mintlify dashboard
+
+ Most deployment issues are resolved by checking the build logs for specific error messages.
+
+
+
+ **Troubleshooting steps:**
+ - Verify your CNAME record points to `cname.mintlify.app`
+ - Use [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to confirm DNS propagation
+ - Wait up to 48 hours for full propagation
+ - Ensure you've verified the domain in your Mintlify dashboard
+
+ Contact our support team if DNS is properly configured but your domain still isn't working after 48 hours.
