## Automatic Deploys
Once you are in the admin interface, you can add a site from a Git provider (GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket). At the end
of this process, you can select the deploy settings for the project:
- build command: `GUTENBERG_VERSION=0.3.1 gutenberg build` (replace the version number in the variable by the version you want to use)
- build command: `GUTENBERG_VERSION=0.3.3 gutenberg build` (replace the version number in the variable by the version you want to use)
- publish directory: the path to where the `public` directory is
With this setup, your site should be automatically deployed on every commit on master.
With this setup, your site should be automatically deployed on every commit on master. For `GUTENBERG_VERSION`, you may
use any of the tagged `release` versions in the GitHub repository—Netlify will automatically fetch the tagged version
and use it to build your site.

However, if you want to use everything that Netlify gives you, you should also publish temporary sites for pull requests.

## Manual Deploys
If you would prefer to use a version of Gutenberg that isn't a tagged release (for example, after having built Gutenberg from
source and made modifications), then you will need to manually deploy your `public` folder to Netlify. You can do this through
Netlify's web GUI or via the command line.

For a command-line manual deploy, follow these steps:
1. Generate a `Personal Access Token` from the settings section of your Netlify account (*not* an OAuth Application)
2. Build your site with `gutenberg build`
3. Create a zip folder containing the `public` directory
4. Run the `curl` command below, filling in your values for PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_1, FILE_NAME.zip and SITE_NAME
5. (Optional) delete the zip folder

```bash
curl -H "Content-Type: application/zip" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_1" \
--data-binary "@FILE_NAME.zip" \
https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/sites/SITE_NAME.netlify.com/deploys
```
