## Setup your development
Learn how to update your docs locally and deploy them to the public.
### Edit and preview
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion icon="github" title="Clone your docs locally">
During the onboarding process, we created a repository on your Github with
your docs content. You can find this repository on our
[dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com). To clone the repository
locally, follow these
[instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository)
in your terminal.
</Accordion>
<Accordion icon="rectangle-terminal" title="Preview changes">
Previewing helps you make sure your changes look as intended. We built a
command line interface to render these changes locally. 1. Install the
[Mintlify CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mintlify) to preview the
documentation changes locally with this command: ``` npm i -g mintlify ```
2. Run the following command at the root of your documentation (where
`mint.json` is): ``` mintlify dev ```
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
### Deploy your changes
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion icon="message-bot" title="Install our Github app">
Our Github app automatically deploys your changes to your docs site, so you
don't need to manage deployments yourself. You can find the link to install on
your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com). Once the bot has been
successfully installed, there should be a check mark next to the commit hash
of the repo.
</Accordion>
<Accordion icon="rocket" title="Push your changes">
[Commit and push your changes to
Git](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-git/pushing-commits-to-a-remote-repository#about-git-push)
for your changes to update in your docs site. If you push and don't see that
the Github app successfully deployed your changes, you can also manually
update your docs through our [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
</Accordion>
