To create your docs repo without logging into GitHub, follow these instructions:

1. Clone our [starter template](https://github.com/mintlify/starter) into a new public repo. You can make the repo private later.

The next step is to install our GitHub app. This ensures that your updates are automatically deployed when you push changes. You can find the installation link in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings), on the Settings page. Upon successful installation, a check mark will appear next to the commit hash of the repository.
