Create Pages by Importing a GitHub Repository

Prerequisites

• Functions and Pages is activated.

• You have an active GitHub account and a code repository for storing Pages code.

Procedure

Pages integrates seamlessly with code management systems, enabling smooth synchronization between your development workflow and deployment process.

1. Log on to the ESA console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Edge Computing and AI > Functions and Pages.

2. On the Edge Functions page, click Create.

3. On the Import from GitHub Repo tab, click Add GitHub Account.

   

4. Log in to GitHub. On the authorization page, All repositories is selected by default. Click Install & Authorize to complete the repository authorization.

5. Configure the build information and click Start Deploy.

   Note

   After connecting your GitHub account, the repository list displays only public repositories by default. Private repositories are not shown automatically. To select a private repository, enter its name in the search box to search for it.

   

   Configuration Type	Feature	Description
   Basic Configuration	Production Branch	Defaults to the main branch. Builds are automatically triggered based on the selected branch and deployed to the production environment.
   	Non-Production Branch Build	When enabled, new commits to non-production branches (e.g., branches other than main) generate build versions but are not automatically deployed.
   	Install Command	If dependencies need to be installed first, enter the command, such as npm install. Supports npm, yarn, cnpm, and pnpm.
   	Build Command	If a build step is required, enter the command, such as npm run build. Supports npm, yarn, cnpm, and pnpm.
   Advanced Configuration	Root Directory	The build command is executed in this directory. Default is /. For a monorepo, enter the path of the subproject to build (e.g., /frontend or /packages/web).
   	Static Asset Directory	The directory in the build output to be statically hosted, for example: ./public, ./dist, or ./build. You can specify the static asset directory in the assets.directory field of the esa.jsonc file. This configuration takes higher priority than the settings here.
   	Function File Path	The entry file path of the function, which is the file that is actually executed. For example: ./src/index.ts. You can specify the function file path in the entry field of the esa.jsonc file. This configuration takes higher priority than the settings here.
   	Node.js Version	The Node.js version used for building. After modifying this configuration, you must retrigger the build for it to take effect. You can specify the Node.js major version in the engines.node field of the package.json file. This configuration takes higher priority than the settings here.
   	Environment Variables	Environment variables that can be accessed during the build process. You can retrieve them through the global object process.env.

6. After the build completes, a public domain link is generated for previewing your deployment.

   

   

Bind a custom domain name

After deployment, bind a custom domain to your project for easier access. Domain name configuration.
