-After you complete this guide, you'll have a live documentation site ready to customize and update.
+Get a live documentation site up and running in minutes.
-## Before you begin
+## Deploy your site
-Mintlify uses a docs-as-code approach to manage your documentation. Every page on your site has a corresponding file stored in your documentation repository.
+1. Go to [mintlify.com/start](https://mintlify.com/start)
+2. Connect your GitHub account
+3. Create a new repository or select an existing one
+4. Complete the onboarding process
-When you connect your documentation repository to your Mintlify deployment, you can work on your documentation locally or in the web editor and sync any changes to your remote repository.
+Your documentation site is automatically deployed to `https://.mintlify.app`.
-## Deploy your documentation site
-
-Go to [mintlify.com/start](https://mintlify.com/start) and complete the onboarding process. During onboarding, you'll connect your GitHub account, create or select a repository for your documentation, and install the GitHub App to enable automatic deployments.
-
-After onboarding, your documentation site is deployed and accessible at your `.mintlify.app` URL.
-
-
-
- If you want to get started quickly without connecting your own repository, you can skip the GitHub connection during onboarding. Mintlify creates a private repository in a private organization and automatically configures the GitHub App for you.
-
- This lets you use the web editor immediately and migrate to your own repository later.
