Moving a project over

  1. Create a site from the same repository; check the detected framework, build command and output folder.
  2. Copy your environment variables into the site’s production, preview or shared scopes.
  3. Deploy a preview and test it before switching any traffic.
  4. Add your domain, point DNS at the target Chapong shows, and HTTPS is issued automatically.
