Creating a Project

From your dashboard, click Create new project to get started. You'll name your project and choose how its Git repository is managed.

Repository modes

Doccupine needs a GitHub repository to store your documentation files. You have two options:

Managed repository

Choose Use managed repository and Doccupine creates and manages the GitHub repo for you under its own organization. This is the simplest option - no GitHub account required on your end.

User repository

Choose Connect to GitHub to link your own GitHub account via OAuth. Doccupine creates the repo in your account, giving you full ownership and direct access to the source files.

What happens during setup

After you choose a repository mode, Doccupine runs an automated setup process:

1. Creates a GitHub repository
2. Commits a starter template with example documentation files
3. Creates a hosting project on the deployment platform
4. Runs the initial build and deployment
5. Sets up a webhook so future pushes to the main branch trigger automatic deploys

This takes about a minute. Once complete, you're redirected to your new project's file explorer.

Project limits

The number of projects you can create depends on your plan:

• Pro - 1 project, up to 5 team members
• Enterprise - 6 projects, unlimited team members

If you've reached your limit, you'll see a prompt to upgrade your plan.
