Getting started with Laravel Cloud is easy. After creating an account and adding a payment method, you just need to create an Application.

Go to your main Laravel Cloud dashboard page and select + New application.

Connect your Git provider

Select Continue with GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. A new tab / window will open. Sign in to your Git provider and select the user / organization and repositories you want to give Laravel Cloud access to.
After completing the Git provider authentication flow, you will be redirected back to Laravel Cloud.

Create a new application.

Select the repository you want to use, name your Laravel Cloud application, and select a Region where your application will deploy. Then, click Create Application.
Your application will be created along with a default environment. You will then be redirected to your application’s default environment overview page.
