Redeploying CODERUSS after manually changes

Support
1

Hey,

I have a website called CODERUSS.COM, which is currently deployed on Netlify through GitHub. I recently made some manual changes to the website’s code, which was initially developed by the AI tool Lovedev. Now, I have all the updated files stored in a zip folder.

I need guidance on how to redeploy the updated version of my website on Netlify. Since I have the updated code and files in a zip, could you walk me through the steps to deploy the new version?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

@devhaziq If you’re using 'Drag & Drop:

  • Log in to your Netlify account
  • Go to the details for the specific site you’re dealing with
  • Go to the bottom of the ‘Deploys’ page for the site
  • ‘Drag & Drop’ your zip file

The related Netlify documentation is here:
https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/create-deploys/#drag-and-drop

Unfortunately the video in that documentation shows only where to ‘Drag & Drop’ to “create a new site”.
Not where to ‘Drag & Drop’ to “update an existing site” - so don’t get confused by that.

To clarify…

Hi @nathanmartin,

I just checked by uploading the files manually, and the preview is blank—it seems like the exact website files aren’t being properly propagated. Currently, my site is deployed through GitHub. I’m thinking that if I update the repository with the latest code, Netlify will automatically reflect those changes on the live website. Can you confirm if that’s how it works?

@devhaziq That’s correct, the documentation for ‘Deploy with Git’ is on the same page here:
https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/create-deploys/#deploy-with-git

You won’t even see the site specific ‘Drag & Drop’ zone when a site is hooked up to Git.

Can you please provide some guidelines how can I update the repositry I’m stuck. And also let me know after updating the code how much time will netlify takes to reflects the changes to LIVE.

@devhaziq You’ll need to learn how to work with git

I’d suggest just Googling tutorials for learning git

GitHub has this documentation:
https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/about-github-and-git

Here’s a basic guide:
https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/

There would be many tutorial videos on YouTube too.

To answer your second:

Netlify will start a build immediately after your repository changes.
How long it takes to be LIVE would depend on how long your build takes to execute.
For some projects that may be a matter of seconds, for others it might be 30+ minutes.
