1. In your GitHub repository, add a file called .cpanel.yml at the top level, with this content (replace YOUR_CPANEL_USERNAME), then commit and push it:

   ---
   deployment:
     tasks:
       - export DEPLOYPATH=/home/YOUR_CPANEL_USERNAME/public_html/
       - /bin/cp -R * $DEPLOYPATH

   This tells cPanel to copy your files into your live website folder.
2. In cPanel, open Git™ Version Control and click Create.
3. Paste your repository's Clone URL, for example https://github.com/your-name/your-site.git. Leave the suggested Repository Path (for example repositories/your-site), then click Create.
4. Click Manage next to the repository, open the Pull or Deploy tab and click Deploy HEAD Commit. Your site is now live.

Updating your site

Push your changes to GitHub as usual. Then in Git™ Version Control → Manage → Pull or Deploy, click Update from Remote and then Deploy HEAD Commit.

Private repository?

Create a fine-grained personal access token on GitHub with read-only access to that one repository, and use it in the clone URL: https://YOUR_TOKEN@github.com/your-name/your-site.git. Keep the token private and give it an expiry date.

1. Make sure your app starts its server on the port it is given: app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000).
2. Get your code onto the server with Git™ Version Control (steps 2–3 of Guide 3 — you don't need .cpanel.yml for Node.js). Your code stays in repositories/your-app, outside your public website folder, so your source code and secrets are never downloadable.
3. In File Manager, create a folder called logs in your home folder. This is where your app's error messages will be saved.
4. Open Setup Node.js App and click Create Application:
   • Node.js version: the newest one offered
   • Application mode: Production
   • Application root: repositories/your-app (the folder that contains package.json)
   • Application URL: your domain
   • Application startup file: your main file, e.g. server.js or app.js
   • Passenger log file: /home/YOUR_CPANEL_USERNAME/logs/app.log
   Click Create.
5. Click Run NPM Install. Add any settings your app needs (like DATABASE_URL) under Environment variables, then click Restart.

Updating your app

In Git™ Version Control, click Update from Remote, then in Setup Node.js App click Run NPM Install (if your packages changed) and Restart.

Need a database?

Use MySQL® Database Wizard or PostgreSQL Databases in cPanel to create a database and user, then put the details in your app's environment variables.
