Key Features

  • Git-based deployment
  • Deploy previews
  • Edge functions

Deploy from Git

1

Connect your repository

Connect a repo; Netlify auto-builds on push.
2

Configure build settings

Set build command (e.g. npm run build) and publish directory (e.g. dist or out).
3

Get preview URLs

Each PR gets a unique preview URL—perfect for sharing demos with judges.

Environment & functions

Add env vars in Site settings → Environment variables.
Use Netlify Functions for serverless APIs. Functions live in netlify/functions/; use any Node or Go runtime.

Hackathon tips

  • Drag-and-drop deploy is fastest for static sites; use Git for automatic updates.
  • Free tier includes 300 build minutes/month and 100GB bandwidth—usually enough.
