Major integrates with GitHub to version-control your applications. See Source Control for an overview of how repository hosting works. Deployments are triggered from the editor toolbar. Each deployment is tied to a specific Git commit, giving you a full audit trail of what shipped and when.

Publish

The Publish button in the editor toolbar gives you a single place to deploy your app, set a custom URL slug, toggle public access, and get AI help with deployment errors. When your app is published, a Copy link button appears, allowing you to quickly copy your deployment URL to share with users.

Share

The Share button lets you manage access to your app with granular role-based permissions (Admin, Editor, Viewer). Add team members by email and control what they can do.

Public and Private Apps

Deploy apps publicly (no authentication required) or privately (auth-gated). Public apps are accessible to anyone with the URL. Private apps require users to sign in and have the appropriate permissions.

Login Redirects

When a user visits a private app while logged out, Major redirects them to sign in. After they log in, they’re redirected back to the app they originally visited. This works with both custom slug-based hostnames (e.g., my-app.apps.prod.major.build) and hash-based hostnames.

Custom URL Slugs

When deploying for the first time, you can choose a custom subdomain for your app (e.g., my-app.apps.prod.major.build). Existing apps can update their URL slug in application settings.

Per-User OAuth in Deployed Apps

If your app uses resources configured for per-user authentication, Major automatically enforces an OAuth gate. When a user accesses the app without a connected OAuth account, they’re redirected to the /connect page to authorize access. Users can manage their connected accounts from Settings > Connected Accounts. See Per-User OAuth for details on how this works.

Version History

View a complete history of your application’s versions. Each version is linked to a commit, ensuring full traceability of changes.

Redeploying

When you redeploy a previously deployed version, you can force a fresh build with the Redeploy button even if the version was cached. This rebuilds the app from scratch rather than reusing cached artifacts.

Build Progress

While the AI is building your app, a tips overlay displays helpful guidance about connectors, sharing, iterative prompting, and published app URLs. If your app uses Slack, the overlay prompts you to deploy it with a relevant app slug after the build completes. Use the navigation controls to cycle through tips and learn best practices as you wait for the build to complete.
