It might just be the thing you need to unlock those creative juices, and [dust off that domain](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/01/dusty-domains-your-forgotten-domains-raise-money-for-charity/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit) you registered but never deployed! Keep an eye [on the blog](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/01/highlighting-a-different-netlify-feature-each-day-in-december/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit) and on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/netlify) for each feature! There are a number of ways to deploy a site to Netlify, or to trigger a build. So it can be helpful to see what code or content changes brought about an update to your site. Perhaps a build was initiated by a [build hook](/blog/2021/12/22/power-your-site-with-apis-and-build-hooks/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit), in which case you’ll see that indicated in your Deploys page. But what if you are using [Netlify Build](https://netlify.com/products/build/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit) to build your site whenever you push code changes to you repo? Once again, the Deploys page in your project’s [Netlify admin](https://app.netlify.com/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit) holds the answer. Every deploy which was triggered by a code change includes a link to the commit. It gives you complete insight into what changes were responsible for the latest updates on your site. And into what to expect in the build. Click on the git hash visible in each deploy summary to take you directly to that commit in your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repo. ## More information - [Docs: Configure continuous deployments](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/get-started/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit) - [Docs: Creating deploys](https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/create-deploys/?utm_campaign=featdaily21&utm_source=netlify&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=link-to-commit) ### Share - [X (fka Twitter)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Seeing what triggered a build for confidence in each commit&url=https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/25/seeing-what-triggered-a-build-for-confidence-in-each-commit//) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netlify.com%2Fblog%2F2021%2F12%2F25%2Fseeing-what-triggered-a-build-for-confidence-in-each-commit%2F%2F) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/25/seeing-what-triggered-a-build-for-confidence-in-each-commit//) - [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text=Seeing what triggered a build for confidence in each commit+https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/25/seeing-what-triggered-a-build-for-confidence-in-each-commit//) * * * ### Tags - [CI/CD](/blog/tags/cicd/) - [Git](/blog/tags/git/) - [Deploys](/blog/tags/deploys/) - [Tips](/blog/tags/tips/) ## Keep reading ![](/_astro/3f45eb6eda4ea8814be310e3df4a7883a5bd9ba0-1200x675_ZcBDUS.webp) Guides & Tutorials May 15, 2026 [ ### How to build a real-time AI chatbot in minutes with Netlify Agent Runners (no backend) ](/blog/how-to-build-a-real-time-ai-chatbot-in-minutes-with-netlify-agent-runners-no-backend) - ![Profile picture of Nahrin Jalal](/_astro/f0e7c8f227a03fe58340c99ef5439d5a896c0733-272x272_Z23kDpD.webp) Nahrin Jalal ![](/_astro/8fe9e8a23f944c9912003233d99a2df7fee637cf-1600x900_Z1gMhmf.webp) Guides & Tutorials May 15, 2026 [ ### Tracking AI search traffic: how to use Netlify Log Drains to maximize AEO ](/blog/tracking-ai-search-traffic) - ![Profile picture of Nahrin Jalal](/_astro/f0e7c8f227a03fe58340c99ef5439d5a896c0733-272x272_Z23kDpD.webp) Nahrin Jalal ## Recent posts News & Announcements August 25, 2026 [ ### Compete in OpenAI’s WebMCP Challenge with Netlify ](/blog/compete-openai-webmcp-challenge) - ![Profile picture of Karthik Puvvada](/_astro/e5524d3c315ad5114e1d5300d8991bfe902916fe-192x192_Z1w18MB.webp) Karthik Puvvada News & Announcements August 19, 2026 [ ### New clarifying questions in Agent Runners ](/blog/new-clarifying-questions-in-agent-runners) - ![Profile picture of Taylor Barnett-Torabi](/_astro/cf4624da8c1286738397b6fecb53bad504df140b-400x400_ZsvK0s.webp) Taylor Barnett-Torabi Opinions & Insights August 14, 2026 [ ### The full power of Git, without the friction: A conversation with Netlify CTO Dana Lawson ](/blog/netlify-source-with-netlify-cto-dana-lawson) - ![Profile picture of Dana Lawson](/_astro/856bf146d0c05c9dc25d45b59f7eac955fbbd644-512x512_1n84rs.webp) Dana Lawson ![](/_astro/3f255b372fa958df35802666ee33b4609b2d71bd-1200x1586_1VtE2D.webp) ### How do the best dev and marketing teams work together?
