2. Install our GitHub app from the [dashboard settings](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings) to enable automatic deployments

### 2. Update Your Content

Choose your preferred editing method:

<AccordionGroup>

    1. Clone your repository
    2. Install the Mintlify CLI: `npm i -g mintlify`
    3. Run `mintlify dev` to preview changes locally
  </Accordion>

    "light": "/logo/light.svg",
    "dark": "/logo/dark.svg"
  },
  "colors": {
