# Deployment to Kubernetes namespace with Git based Manifest

A Kubernetes manifest is a text file that details a deployment. Deployment manifests however are usually stored in a repository like Github or bitbucket.

To deploy a manifest, from ISD:

1. **Go to Continuous Delivery**: When you log in to ISD you would start at the application dashboard, Click "**Continuous Delivery**" and then click "**Spinnaker**".  ISD primarily supports spinnaker applications and allows you to access your spinnaker instance directly from ISD’s UI to help save your team time.

2\.  Click on the application where you want to build this pipeline: On the spinnaker dashboard, you will see a list of recently opened applications and options to see all your applications or create a new application entirely. For the purposes of this tutorial, we are using the application **“Fresh tutorial”.**

3\.  Once you click on an application, Click "**Pipelines**" navigate to the pipelines screen and then click "**Create**" button to create a new pipeline as shown in the image below.

4\. **Create pipeline**: After clicking the "Create" button, you can create a new pipeline. You must name your pipeline. If you have an existing pipeline, you can copy it using the “**copy from**” feature and click "**Create**".
