Adding content¶

1. Add a public key to your Acquia profile.
2. Clone the application’s repository.

3. Configure acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml.

   The acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file must be located in root folder of your project containing the following configuration:

   copy

   output_directory: "out/"
   root_directory: "./"

   Configuration properties:

   • Output directory: This output directory contains build outputs such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, which are served for the Front End Hosting - Basic hosting. The default output directory is html/. This directory can be overridden by specifying the output directory in the acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file.

   • Root directory: The main directory of your project may not always align with your application's build root. For example, a repository might have a frontend directory, which contains a stand-alone Next.js application. Therefore, you must set the root directory to ensure that the commands are executed from the correct directory of your project.

4. Create a new branch and push your deployable artifact along with acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml.

5. Deploy the branch <new-branch> from the Cloud UI.

Connecting your Git repository to Acquia platform ¶

1. Add a public key to your Acquia profile.
2. Check out a local copy of your code.
3. Copy your code to a new Git repository.
