How to connect your Vercel account

Follow these steps to connect your ExploreMyPC project with your Vercel account. This will allow you to sync your project in real time in your Vercel account.

Important: This connection is made via a Github account, so you'll need a free Github account in order for the Vercel integration to work.

Step 1. Click the Publish link on your project

Step 2. Choose the 3rd party Free Hosting option from the list

Step 4. At this point a popup will appear and you'll be asked to login into your Github account. If you don't have an account you can create one for free.

Step 5. Authorise ExploreMyPC on your Github account.

After you linked your Github account, two things happen:

  • ExploreMyPC will create a repository into your Github account and sync your project there. The repository name will be random, but you can change it from your Github Account > Repositories List > Click on repository > Settings Tab

  • your ExploreMyPC dashboard will reflect that Github is connected.

(Optional: If this is a random name check Step 5 on how you can rename your Github repository to a custom one.)

Step 14. Vercel will do its magic, synchronising your Gihub repository. It takes 1 min or so. Click on the generated link to access your website live.

(Optional: You can attach a custom domain from Settings)

If you see this message, everything is working great, and you need to give it a couple of minutes for the project to sync. This only displays the first time.

Refresh the page in your browser a couple of times and your ExploreMyPC project should appear

At this point your ExploreMyPC dashboard should reflect that your Vercel account is connected as well. Press Disconnect if you want to cut the connection with your Vercel account.

From this point on, any change you make in your ExploreMyPC project, will be pushed into your Github account, and from there to Vercel.

Important: Please be patient and give changes a couple of minutes to be reflected on your website. Sometimes it takes a while for the updates to show.
