Your site and your accounts
Your site lives in two accounts in your name, GitHub and Cloudflare. Tentak joins as a guest.
Your site isn’t on a Tentak server. It lives in two accounts that belong to you.
GitHub: the code and the content
GitHub holds your site’s repository: the text, images, design and code, with the history of every change.
- Ideally it’s a free GitHub organization in the name of your business or project. Your personal account works too.
- The repository is private: only the people you invite can see it.
How Tentak gets in: the Tentak Sites app
Tentak works on your site through the Tentak Sites GitHub App. You install it on your account or organization and choose which repositories it can reach: your site’s, or all of them if you prefer.
- The app can read and change the code and open pull requests. That’s how we propose every change.
- Uninstall it and our access ends right away.
Cloudflare: publishing and the domain
Cloudflare puts your site on the internet and answers for your domain.
- It’s your own Cloudflare account. Tentak joins as an invited member.
- Every time the repository changes, Cloudflare builds and publishes the site on its own. See Publish changes.
- Your domain lives in this account too. See Domain and email.
What stays with Tentak
Nothing your site needs to work. If your business uses the Tentak platform, your site can link to it, and that link is the only connection.
Keep your access safe
- Turn on two-factor authentication in GitHub and in Cloudflare.
- You decide who has access. You can remove anyone, Tentak included, from each account’s settings.
