Now we need to set up a Tina Cloud account, and create an "app".
In Tina Cloud, Apps connect Tina Cloud with a GitHub repository. An app is the connection point between your site and your users, allowing authorized users to login, and start making edits to your site's content.
Register for Tina Cloud and create your organization for free.
Once registered, you can log in to your organization and access your dashboard. Let's create an app.
After you authorize the Tina Cloud GitHub app, you should see your demo repository in the list of repositories. Click "Choose Repository".
On the last step, we need to enter some configuration for our app.
You can give your app whatever name you like. We will go with "Blog Starter"
We will be running this demo locally, so for Site URL, you can use:
http://localhost:3000
Click save, your app should now be created!
Click on the app from the app's list page, and you will see a new read-only "Client ID" field. We'll use this value soon to reference this Tina Cloud app from our site.
