How to deploy an app built with GitHub Copilot

Before you start

• Your app's code in a folder on your computer (built with GitHub Copilot in your editor).
• GitHub Copilot installed and signed in.
• A Project3000 account. Creating one takes a minute.

Deploy your GitHub Copilot project, step by step

1. Create your account at project3000.io with Google or email, and set up two-factor sign-in (it takes a minute).
2. Choose a package and create the app. Its name becomes its address: your-name.apps.project3000.io.
3. Open your project in your editor and switch Copilot Chat to agent mode, with approval turned on, so it asks before it runs each command. The “See how” links in the dashboard show where both settings are.
4. Copy the prompt from your dashboard and paste it into GitHub Copilot. It reads your project, adds the two files Project3000 needs (a Dockerfile and a manifest.json), connects the app to its included database and cache, and uploads it. Approve each step when GitHub Copilot asks.
5. Click Deploy. Your app goes live on its own HTTPS link and runs as two copies on separate servers. Share the link with anyone.

Tips for GitHub Copilot projects

• Use agent mode: plain chat can’t run the commands.
• Keep approval on, so Copilot asks before each command. In fully automatic modes an AI tool may refuse to send files to an outside address, so the upload never arrives.
• Check that the editor’s terminal opens in your project folder.

What your app gets

Its own PostgreSQL-compatible database and Redis-compatible cache, a free HTTPS certificate, two copies on separate servers with automatic recovery, and a link to share. Pro and Business apps can use your own domain.
