Creating Projects in Dashboard

Create a Jamdesk project from a template or an existing GitHub repository, and Jamdesk handles the webhook and first build automatically.

Create a project in the dashboard to set up a new documentation site. Start from a template or connect an existing GitHub repository. Jamdesk installs the webhook and runs the first build.

Create a New Project

1
Open the dashboard

Go to dashboard.jamdesk.com and sign in.

2
Click New Project

Select New Project from the dashboard.

3
Choose your source

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.

4
Configure settings
  • Project name: displayed in the dashboard
  • Subdomain: your docs URL (e.g., my-docs.jamdesk.app)
  • Branch: the Git branch to deploy (usually main)
5
Create

Click Create Project to finish setup.
