# Builder journey

:::note[Details pending]
:::

<p>{"To put a site on Secret Zone, you claim a name and connect a git repository, along with the command that builds it and the folder it outputs."}</p>

<p>{"Every push to the repository starts a build. The Scheduler queues it, and a Builder runs your command on a confidential computer. The files go to your site, and a receipt and build log go to your account."}</p>

<p>{"Every build gets its own preview address, "}<code>{"name--branch--build.secret.express"}</code>{". The two newest builds on each of up to three branches stay available as previews."}</p>

<p>{"Your site goes live at "}<code>{"name.secret.express"}</code>{" when you pick which build to publish. A build never publishes itself."}</p>

<p>{"You can add your own domain by following the DNS steps your account shows. Until that domain reaches the edge and has its certificate, the site keeps serving at "}<code>{"name.secret.express"}</code>{". After that, the "}<code>{"secret.express"}</code>{" address sends visitors to your domain."}</p>
