Steps
Add a git remote using the dokku user: git remote add dokku dokku@yourdomain.com:app-name
Push to deploy: git push dokku master (Dokku deploys whatever lands on the configured deploy branch, master by default)
To deploy a different local branch without changing config, push it explicitly: git push dokku SOME_BRANCH:master
To persistently change the deploy branch, use dokku git:set <app> deploy-branch <branch> (or --global for all apps)
Dokku auto-detects a Dockerfile or a language buildpack (Herokuish/Cloud Native Buildpacks/Nixpacks) to build the pushed code into a running container
Known gotchas
Pushing from a shallow clone is unsupported and can behave unpredictably — unshallow the repo first
As of 0.22.1 Dokku auto-sets deploy-branch to whichever branch is pushed first, which can surprise teams expecting master by default
By default the .git directory is stripped before build; enabling keep-git-dir can cause the build to see unstaged changes generated during the build process itself
