Other Configurations
Beyond Domains and Environment Variables, Storefront Hosting provides additional configuration options within its "Settings" section. This page is your starting point to explore and understand these various settings.
Repository Configuration
As outlined in Getting Started, connecting your Git repository is the crucial first step to enable your Storefront Hosting. If you later decide to change your repository, simply click the "Edit" button to make the necessary updates.
Repository Configuration
Possible updates include:
- Changing the current Git repository provider.
- Updating the Git repository's URL.
- Updating the access token required for Git repository authentication.
Use the eye icon to view the value of the access token.

CLI Tokens
CLI tokens are secure credentials that let you trigger deployments from your command-line interface (CLI). They act like a unique password, authenticating your CLI commands with the Storefront Hosting platform. This enables seamless automation of your deployment workflows without needing to log in via the web interface.
Simply click the "Create New" button to create a CLI Token, as only a "Token Name" field is required. Once created, you can:
- Copy the token,
- Remove the token.

Monitoring Exporter
As this section is about observability, its function is described in the Monitoring section.
Environment Protection
Our Storefront Hosting solution allows you to create multiple environments, each with its own custom domain serving your frontend deployments. Recognizing that not all of these environments are for public use, the Environment Protection section lets you secure them with basic authentication. This ensures that only authorized users can access and view your non-production deployments, safeguarding your development from public access.
Environment Protection
Simply click the "Create New" button to create a basic authentication by filling out the required fields.

Redeployment Required Banner
Once created, you can:
- Copy the Username and Password values,
- Edit the Username and Password values,
- Remove the Environment Protection.
After making any changes to the environment protection, you'll see a banner prompting you to redeploy your application. Simply click the "Deploy" button and follow the deployment steps to apply the necessary changes outlined. This action will lead you to the Deployment Detail Page as outlined in the section Deployment Actions.
