Built something with Bolt and ready to share it with the world? This guide walks you through going from a Bolt project to a live, publicly accessible URL—no DevOps experience required. You'll connect Bolt to GitHub, push your code to a repository, and deploy it on [Hostman App Platform](https://hostman.com/products/app-platform/). The whole process takes about 10 minutes.

Every time you make changes in Bolt after the initial setup, they'll be published automatically, without manual redeploys.

## Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

-   A project in [Bolt](https://bolt.new/). Any app you've built and want to publish.
-   A Hostman account. Sign up at [hostman.com](https://hostman.com/signup/) if you don't have one yet.

## Step 1. Create a GitHub Account

GitHub is where your project's code will live. Hostman connects to it to pull your app and build it. If you already have a GitHub account, skip to Step 2.

1.  Go to [github.com](https://github.com) and click **Sign up**.
2.  Register with your Google account, Apple ID, or an email address.

Once you're in, you'll see your [dashboard](https://github.com/dashboard).

## Step 2. Connect GitHub to Your Bolt Account

Linking GitHub to Bolt means your code changes will flow to GitHub automatically—no manual uploads, no copy-pasting files.

**In Bolt:**

1.  Go to **Projects** → your project, and click the GitHub icon in the top-right corner.
2.  Click **Log in to GitHub** and sign in to your GitHub account.

3.  On first connection, GitHub will ask for confirmation. Click **Authorize**.
4.  Follow any additional prompts to complete the setup.

## Step 3. Connect Your Project to GitHub

This step creates a GitHub repository for your project. From this point on, any changes you make in Bolt will be pushed to the repo automatically.

1.  Go to **Projects** → your project, and click the GitHub icon in the top-right corner.
2.  Click **Configure the GitHub App**.

3.  Click **Install & Authorize**.
4.  Go to **Projects** → your project, and click the GitHub icon in the top-right corner again.
5.  Give your repository a name—for example, `bolt-app`.
6.  Click **Create repository**.

Your repository will be created and your project files will be uploaded automatically. You can open the repo on GitHub to confirm everything is there.

## Step 4. Deploy on Hostman App Platform

Now let's get your app running in the cloud.

1.  Open the [Hostman dashboard](https://hostman.com) → **App Platform** → **Create App**.
2.  Choose your app type. Select **Frontend**, **Backend**, or **Docker**, then pick the framework your app uses.

> [!NOTE]
> Not sure which framework your app uses? Ask Bolt: _"What framework is this app built with?"_

3.  Connect your GitHub account and repository:
    

-   -   Click the GitHub icon on the **Repository** step.
    -   Sign in and authorize access.
    -   Select your repository from the list.

If the repo doesn't appear, click **Add Account**, re-authorize, and try again.

Keep **Built by the last executed commit** enabled. This lets Hostman automatically rebuild your app whenever you push changes to GitHub.

![Add App 05 20 2026 10 41 Am](https://content.hostman.com/assets/4c716512-e9da-4f44-8bd7-5a8022905e90.png?width=760&height=728)

4.  Choose a deployment region.
    
5.  Configure your app settings. Consult Bolt if you're unsure what to enter. For framework-specific guidance, refer to the Hostman docs: [Frontend](https://hostman.com/docs/app-platform/frontend-apps/) · [Backend](https://hostman.com/docs/app-platform/backend-apps/) · [Dockerfile](https://hostman.com/docs) · [Docker Compose](https://hostman.com/docs/app-platform/docker-compose/).

6.  Click **Create** and wait for the deployment to finish.
    

## You're Live!

Once deployment completes, go to **Dashboard** and look for the **Domain** field. That's your app's public URL. Share it with the world.

Want to use your own domain name? Head to **Settings** to [configure it](https://hostman.com/docs/app-platform/managing-apps/#custom-domain).

> [!NOTE]
> Going forward, just ask Bolt to make changes to your project.
>
> They'll be pushed to GitHub automatically, and Hostman will pick up the new commit and redeploy your app. No extra steps needed.
