01
Create your account
Sign in at taqat.academy using your TAQAT SSO credentials. If you don't have an account, register through your group trainer.
02
Open your project workroom
Navigate to My Projects → your project → Hosting tab. If the Hosting tab isn't visible, ask your trainer to enable it for the group.
03
Add a deployment
Click "Add app", choose a name (e.g. "API") and a subdomain (e.g. myproject-api → myproject-api.apps.taqat.academy). Select your GitHub repo or paste the URL.
04
Connect GitHub (one time)
The setup card shows a Deploy Key and a Webhook URL. In your GitHub repo: Settings → Deploy keys (read-only), then Settings → Webhooks (content-type: application/json, event: push). After that, every push to main auto-deploys.
05
Set environment variables
Open the Environment tab. Add variables one by one, or click "Import .env" to paste/upload your whole .env file — it merges without overwriting.
06
