# Quick Guide to Self-Hosting Custom Scripts

## Hosting a Custom Script Using GitHub

Best practice is to self-host your Custom Scripts. To do this, you can use a free repository server such as GitHub, or you could host it on one of your company servers. The following is a guide to hosting a script using GitHub.

1.Create a free account on GitHub <https://github.com/join> (or sign in if you already have a GitHub account).

3\. Create a new script file by clicking c**reating a new file**.

4\. Name your script (ensure you have the correct file extension **.ps1** for PowerShell, **.vb** for VBScript, or **.bat** for Batch scripts),  enter your script's contents, then **commit new file**.

5\. Access the raw version of your script by clicking the **RAW** button.

![Select Raw to View the Raw Version of the Script](/files/-MWzVuGuBsthP1Yxo7rU)

6\. Copy the URL for the raw script that appears and save it in a text file for later; you will need this when configuring your custom script in Faronics Deploy.

![Copy the Raw URL](/files/-MWzX7BSy5_Sz-knLG7X)

{% hint style="success" %}
Your Custom Script is now hosted on GitHub; use the raw URL that you copied in step 6 to configure a Custom Script in Faronics Deploy.
{% endhint %}
