# Deploy from Git Hydron supports deploying applications directly from Git repositories. You can connect via GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or any publicly accessible Git URL. ## Supported Git providers | Provider | Connection method | |----------|------------------| | **GitHub** | OAuth integration or public URL | | **GitLab** | OAuth integration or public URL | | **Bitbucket** | OAuth integration or public URL | | **Any Git host** | Public repository URL | ## Connecting via OAuth For private repositories, connect your Git provider account through OAuth. This gives Hydron secure, read-only access to your repositories. 1. In a new chat, click on your preferred provider (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) 2. You'll be redirected to authorize Hydron 3. Once connected, you'll see a list of your repositories 4. Select the repository you want to deploy OAuth connections are stored securely and can be managed from your **Account Settings**. ## Connecting via public URL For public repositories, you can paste the Git URL directly: 1. In a new chat, click **Public Git URL** 2. Enter the repository URL (e.g., `https://github.com/username/repo.git`) 3. Click **Analyze Repository** Hydron clones the repository and begins the code analysis process. ## What happens during code analysis After connecting your repository, Hydron's AI performs a comprehensive analysis:  The analysis detects: - **Programming languages** and their versions - **Frameworks** (Express, Django, Rails, Spring Boot, etc.) - **Package managers** and dependencies - **Services** within monorepos or multi-service projects - **Existing Dockerfiles** and their quality - **Environment variables** referenced in the code - **Entry points** and build commands ## Reviewing analysis results Analysis results appear both in the chat and in the **right sidebar** panel. For each detected service, you'll see: - Service name and detected type - Framework and language - Dockerfile status (existing or needs generation) - Required environment variables - Port configuration You can **accept** or **reject** individual services. Only accepted services will be included in the infrastructure plan. ## Selecting which services to deploy For monorepo or multi-service projects, Hydron detects all deployable components. You choose which ones to include in the **Services** tab in the right sidebar.  Uncheck any services you don't want to deploy. The infrastructure plan will only include the selected services. ## Dockerfile handling Hydron handles Dockerfiles in several ways: - **Existing Dockerfile detected** — Hydron uses your existing Dockerfile as-is, or suggests improvements - **No Dockerfile found** — The AI generates an optimized Dockerfile based on the detected framework - **Multiple Dockerfiles** — For multi-service repos, each service gets its own Dockerfile You can always edit the Dockerfile through the chat interface. Ask the AI to make changes like: - "Add a multi-stage build to reduce image size" - "Switch the base image to Alpine" - "Add a build cache layer for dependencies" ## After analysis Once you're satisfied with the analysis results: 1. Review and accept the detected services 2. Add any missing environment variables 3. The AI will offer to generate an infrastructure plan 4. Continue to [Infrastructure Plans](/docs/infrastructure-plans) to understand the next step ## Troubleshooting **Analysis taking too long?** Large repositories with many files may take longer to analyze. The AI prioritizes relevant files (source code, config files, Dockerfiles) and skips binary/media files. **Wrong framework detected?** Tell the AI in the chat: "This is actually a Next.js app, not a plain React app" — the AI will update its analysis. **Missing services?** Ask the AI to re-analyze specific directories: "Please also check the /services/auth directory for another service." **Private repository access issues?** Ensure your OAuth connection is active in Account Settings. For organization repos, you may need to grant Hydron access to the organization.
