# Init For repositories stored on GitHub, you can use Netlify CLI to connect your repository by running the following command from your local repository:
netlify init
This starts a simple step-by-step process that helps you: - Connect your project to a GitHub repository - Set up automatic updates every time you change your code - Create a netlify.toml file for your project settings - Give you a website link to see your project live
Just follow the on-screen instructions to complete each step. For more detail on this step see: - netlify init
# Netlify dev When you run netlify dev, we’ll start a local development server with access to redirects, Forms, Netlify Functions, Netlify Edge Functions, and more. See: - netlify dev
In order to connect your repository for continuous deployment, Netlify CLI will need access to create a deploy key and a webhook on the repository. When you run the command above, you’ll be prompted to log in to your GitHub account, which will create an account-level access token. The access token will be stored in the Netlify CLI config.json. Your login password will never be stored. You can revoke the access token at any time from your GitHub account settings; however, this will disable continuous deployment on all sites that were configured with that access token.
