In the top menu, click Settings > Pages. Under Source, click the None button and select the main branch. Click Save.

Deploying Your Plugin in FormIt

Once the plugin is installed, it will be added to the bottom of your toolbar, ready to use.

Go to your new plugins repo, for example,

To use a plugin hosted on GitHub, copy the plugin page link, go to the Plugin Manager and scroll to the bottom, and paste the link in the field under Add Your Private or Local Plugin. Then click the Add button.
