Adding your first app

Connect Repo(s)

Just click the New App button which will bring you to the list of your repos. Then click the Connect Repo(s) button to beging the process. You'll be redirected to Github where you can choose specific repo(s) from your account.

You'll be redirected back to the previous screen where you can select the repo of your choice (since you may have connected multiple).

Choose Branch

Select the branch you wish to use. It default to your repo's default main branch (which is generally main or master) but you can choose any branch.

Be sure to set your flutter version accordingly. You can find out what version you are using locally by running flutter --version in your console. These settings can be changed at anytime, so don't worry!

Deploy?

If you have a fairly simple app, you can just click Deploy Now but keep in mind, if you app requires any additional build commands and/or environment variables, it's better just to click Maybe Later so you can fine-tune your settings.

Either way, you'll be redirected to the app detail screen where you can see a summary of your app with some options that these docs will cover in greater detail as your read along.

Dashhost's secret sauce. More to follow on this topic of course.
