# Upload builds with GitHub Actions 

If you want to use Widgetbook Cloud with your existing GitHub repository, here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Setup Widgetbook Cloud Project">
    Create a new project in Widgetbook Cloud by importing your GitHub repository.
    You might need to connect your GitHub account to Widgetbook Cloud to access your repositories.
  </Step>
  
  <Step title="Add API Key as a Secret">
    Add `WIDGETBOOK_API_KEY` to your [GitHub repository's secrets](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions#creating-secrets-for-a-repository). You can find the API key in the Widgetbook Cloud's **project settings page**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create GitHub Actions Workflow">
    To upload a [Widgetbook Build](/cloud/builds/overview) for each new commit in your repository, you need to setup up a workflow in GitHub Actions that runs on every push.

    ```yaml
    name: Widgetbook Cloud Hosting
    on: push

    jobs:
      widgetbook-cloud-hosting:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
          - name: Checkout
            uses: actions/checkout@v3

          - name: Setup flutter
            uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
            with:
                channel: stable

          - name: Bootstrap App
            run: |
                flutter pub get
                # Add any other steps needed to make your
                # app widgets available for Widgetbook

          - name: Build Widgetbook
            working-directory: widgetbook
            run: |
                flutter pub get
                dart run build_runner build -d
                flutter build web -t lib/main.dart

          - name: Install Widgetbook CLI
            run: dart pub global activate widgetbook_cli

          - name: Push Widgetbook Build
            working-directory: widgetbook
            run: widgetbook cloud build push --api-key ${{ secrets.WIDGETBOOK_API_KEY }}
    ```

  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Pull Request">
    To test out if everything works properly, create a new branch and push a commit to it, then submit a PR with the new branch.
    After the build upload finishes, a commit status will be added to your PR once the [Widgetbook Review](/cloud/reviews) is ready.
  </Step>
