Creating Projects in Dashboard
A project in Jamdesk represents a single documentation site. Each project connects to one GitHub repository and deploys to its own URL.
Set up a new documentation site by creating a project in the dashboard. You can start from a template or connect an existing GitHub repository, and Jamdesk handles the webhook installation and first build automatically.
Create a New Project
Go to dashboard.jamdesk.com and sign in.
Select New Project from the dashboard.
Pick how to start your documentation:
Start with the Starter Template. Jamdesk creates a GitHub repository for you with sample content, components, and an OpenAPI spec.
- Project name — Displayed in the dashboard
- Subdomain — Your docs URL (e.g.,
my-docs.jamdesk.app) - Branch — The Git branch to deploy (usually
main)
Click Create Project to finish setup.
Project Limits
Your plan determines how many projects you can create:
| Plan | Projects |
|---|---|

Need more projects on Pro? Add extra project slots on the Subscription page.
