Welcome to ShipStack Help Center

Get oriented fast — find the guides you need to ship projects, manage deployments, and configure your team in ShipStack.

ShipStack takes your Git repository from commit to production — handling builds, deployments, custom domains, and team access so you can focus on shipping.

This help center covers everything from your first project to advanced pipeline configuration. Browse by category or jump straight to the guides below.

New here? Start with these

These three guides get you from zero to a live project. Work through them in order and you'll have a running deployment in minutes.

Create your first project
Import a Git repository and let ShipStack detect the framework and build settings.
Deploy to production
Ship the latest commit on main to production with one click.
Create a preview deployment
Every pull request gets its own isolated URL for review before merging.

Deploys & Pipelines

Once your project is live, these guides help you customize how it builds and give you a safety net when something goes wrong.

  • Tailor your build command, output directory, and push triggers to match your framework.

  • Roll back to a previous build instantly — no re-deploy needed.

  • Every pull request gets its own isolated preview URL, so your team can review changes before they hit production.

Configure a build pipeline
Customize the build command, output directory, and what runs on every push.
Roll back a deploy
Restore the previous build instantly when a release goes wrong.
Create a preview deployment
Every pull request gets its own isolated URL for review before merging.

Domains, Variables & Logs

Fine-tune your project with a custom domain, per-environment secrets, and detailed build logs.

  • TLS certificates are issued automatically when you connect a custom domain.

  • Environment variables are encrypted at rest and injected at both build and runtime.

  • Build logs show you exactly which step failed so you can fix it fast.

Connect a custom domain
Point your own domain at a project — TLS certificates are issued automatically.
Set a primary domain and redirects
Choose the canonical domain and redirect the alternatives to it.
Add environment variables
Store secrets and config per environment — encrypted at rest, injected at build and runtime.
Search build logs
Dig into a build's log output to find the step that failed.

Team & Access

Bring your team in and lock down access with the right roles from day one.

  • Teammates can be added as Developer, Admin, or Owner — choose the role that matches their responsibilities.

  • Scoped access tokens keep your CI systems and the ShipStack CLI secure.

Invite a teammate
Add teammates with the right role — Developer, Admin, or Owner.
Create an access token
Generate a scoped token for CI systems and the ShipStack CLI.
