  1. Navigate to the directory where your app is located.
  2. Run devvit upload.
  3. At the prompt, confirm the creation of your app.
  4. Add a description of your app that is at least 15 characters. You can always change your description later.
  5. Indicate if your app is Not Safe For Work (NSFW). The default is "no", so you can hit enter for this step.
  6. Make sure that you’re in the appropriate directory. In our example, you should be in the yourredditusername-hello-world directory.
yourredditusername-hello-world # <- you should be here before uploading
