Configuring the build settings for an app

Focus mode
Configuring the build settings for an app - AWS Amplify Hosting

When you deploy an application, Amplify automatically detects the frontend framework and associated build settings by inspecting the app's package.json file in your Git repository. You have the following options for storing your app's build settings:

  • Save the build settings in the Amplify console - The Amplify console autodetects build settings and saves them so that they can be accessed by the Amplify console. Amplify applies these settings to all of your branches unless there is an amplify.yml file stored in your repository.

  • Save the build settings in your repository - Download the amplify.yml file and add it to the root of your repository.

Note

Build settings is visible in the Amplify console's Hosting menu only when an app is set up for continuous deployment and connected to a git repository. For instructions on this type of deployment, see Getting started.
