this is ?

TL;DR
Developers are struggling to create a function on Appwrite Cloud due to confusion with the repository setup. One suggestion is to create a new repo specifically for the functions. To resolve the issue with the inactive DEPLOY button, try choosing 'Create new repository' instead of 'Connect existing repository'.

like index.js

Axistro
15 Feb, 2026, 16:01

Axistro
15 Feb, 2026, 16:01

just delete the repo

Axistro
15 Feb, 2026, 16:01

choose a starter template and modify it

Axistro
