The Hydrogen channel allows you to create multiple storefronts. Each storefront is linked to a single Hydrogen app, connected through a GitHub repository.

Storefronts can have multiple [environments](/docs/storefronts/headless/hydrogen/environments), which contain [deployments](/docs/storefronts/headless/hydrogen/deployments).

## Create a new storefront by connecting an existing GitHub repository

If you already [created a Hydrogen app](/docs/storefronts/headless/hydrogen/getting-started) and pushed it to GitHub, then you can connect that repo to a new Hydrogen storefront.

1. In the Hydrogen channel, click **Create storefront**.
1. Click **Connect existing repository**.
1. Under **Account**, select the GitHub account or organization that contains the Hydrogen repo.
1. Under **Repository**, select the repo.
1. Click **Connect**.

After connecting the repo, Shopify automatically opens a pull request to add an Oxygen deployment workflow file. Merge the PR to start continuous deployment to Oxygen.

## Create a new storefront by creating a new GitHub repository

1. In the Hydrogen channel, click **Create storefront**.
1. Select the Hydrogen template to start with.
1. Select whether to create the app as JavaScript or TypeScript.
1. Under **Account**, select the GitHub account or organization where you want to create the new app repository.
1. Under **Repository**, type a name for the new repo.
1. Optional: Check **Create as a public repository**.
1. Click **Create**.

## Delete a Hydrogen storefront

Deleting a storefront deletes all its environments, environment variables, and deployments.
