Manual Deploys

Overview

Manual deployments let you trigger a deployment without waiting for a GitHub webhook. This is useful for:

• Re-deploying after fixing a server-side issue
• Testing your build commands
• Deploying when webhooks aren’t configured

How to Deploy Manually

1. Navigate to your project’s details page
2. Click the Deploy button
3. The deployment starts immediately

What Happens

When you click deploy:

1. A new deployment record is created with status running
2. Commands execute sequentially in the project workspace
3. Each command’s output is logged
4. Email notification is sent (if enabled)
5. Status updates to success or failed

Manual vs Webhook

	Manual Deploy	Webhook Deploy
Trigger	Button click in UI	GitHub push event
Authentication	Session-based	HMAC-SHA256 signature
Auto Deploy	Always runs	Only if enabled on project
Use Case	Re-deploy, test	Continuous deployment

Monitoring

After triggering a deploy, you’re redirected to the deployment details page where you can watch:

• Real-time log output (polls every 3 seconds)
• Command-by-command status
• Total deployment duration
