Better Sol generates your full Solana program, typed client, and database schema from a single TypeScript file. This workflow hooks into your GitHub repository so that every merge to the main branch automatically triggers a Better Sol build and deploys the updated program to Solana devnet. Your team always tests against the latest program state without anyone running manual deploy commands.

Step 1: Store your Better Sol TypeScript program definition and deploy keypair as GitHub Actions secrets.
Step 2: Add a GitHub Actions workflow file that triggers on push to main.
Step 3: In the workflow, install the Better Sol CLI and run 'better-sol build' to generate the Solana program.
Step 4: Run 'better-sol deploy --cluster devnet' to push the compiled program to devnet.
Step 5: After deploy, write the new program ID and deploy timestamp to a Supabase table for record-keeping.
Step 6: Add a step to post the program ID and explorer link as a comment on the merged pull request.

See PlansBetter Sol lets you write Solana blockchain programs entirely in TypeScript — no Rust toolchain required. You define your program once, and Better Sol generates the on-chain program, a fully typed client, and a database schema from that single file. You can deploy to Solana with one command, and your bundle stays small at 41 KB.
