Quickstart

​

Overview

We’re going to walk you through the steps to onboard your projects to Amplify. The onboarding process is designed to be fully guided, so if you’d rather just follow along in the Amplify App and skip this guide, you can do that too.

​

What to expect

During onboarding you will:

1. Install the Amplify GitHub App.
2. Select which projects you want to onboard.
3. Approve the Pull Requests that Amplify will open for you in selected projects. These Pull Requests add the Amplify Security GitHub Actions Workflow.
