Publishing to a GitHub + Vercel site

What it does

For a site built in a GitHub repository and hosted on Vercel, Nexus publishes each article as a pull request. The piece goes live when someone reviews the Vercel preview and merges.

Set it up

1. "Connect GitHub for them." Nexus posts an install link for its GitHub app.
2. ✋ Someone with access to the client's repository installs it on that repository.
3. Tell Nexus which repository to publish to: "Set the git publishing target to owner/name."
4. "Check the GitHub connection."

Use it

• "Publish [title] to the site." Nexus opens the pull request and posts the preview link.
• ✋ Review the preview and merge.
• After merging: "[title] is live at [url]." That triggers the social cross-posts.

Troubleshooting

• The message says "Git auth failed." The credential expired or can't see the repository. The message says which.

Prompts

• "Connect GitHub for them."
• "Set the git publishing target to owner/name."
• "Check the GitHub connection."
• "Publish [title] to the site."
• "[title] is live at [url]."
