Change GitHub source of app

Hello @c1192def936b463dbf30a6928e695d

One way to do this would be to change your App Spec and specify the new source of your project:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/app-spec/

You can change the source accordingly and then do a standard deployment with the new app specification.

From the API, the process is similar, you just upload the app spec using doctl apps update or use the http api.

To update the reference to a different Git repository for your App Platform app via the UI, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Log into your DigitalOcean control panel.
2. Navigate to the Apps section.
3. Select your app and click on the Settings tab.
4. Under the Deployment source, click on Change Repository.
5. Choose the new repository from the available options or connect a different GitHub/GitLab account.
6. Confirm the changes and click Save.

After making the changes, DigitalOcean will automatically trigger a new deployment using the new repository. Make sure the app.yaml or .do/app.yaml file within your new repository is configured properly for successful deployment.

For more information, refer to the DigitalOcean documentation on Deploying Code Changes.

Hope that this helps!

Hi there,

The best way to test your new repository would be to create a new app and deploy it using the new repository. If this all works, you could then edit your App Spec file for your existing app directly and change the reference of your old repository with the new one.

You can modify your App Spec file by going to the DigitalOcean Control Panel -> Apps -> Click on your app -> Go to ‘Settings’ -> Scroll down and click edit next to the ‘App Spec’. In there make the necessary changes.

Make sure to take a backup of the file in case anything goes wrong.

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
