# Using the Deploy to Amplify button to share a GitHub project
**Important**
One-click deployment using the **Deploy to Amplify Hosting** button is no longer available. To deploy from a repository, create a new application in Amplify Hosting. For instructions, see [Getting started with deploying an app to Amplify Hosting](getting-started.md).
The **Deploy to Amplify Hosting** button enables you to share GitHub projects publicly or within your team. The following is an image of the button:

## Adding the Deploy to Amplify Hosting button to a repository or blog
Add the button to your GitHub README.md file, blog post, or any other markup page that renders HTML. The button has the following two components:
1. An SVG image located at the URL `https://oneclick.amplifyapp.com/button.svg`
1. The Amplify console URL with a link to your GitHub repository. Your can either copy your repository's URL, such as `https://github.com/username/repository`, or you can provide a deep link into a specific folder, such as `https://github.com/username/repository/tree/branchname/folder`. Amplify Hosting will deploy the default branch in your repository. Additional branches can be connected after the app is connected.
Use the following example to add the button to a markdown file, such as your GitHub README.md. Replace `https://github.com/username/repository` with the URL to your repository.
