A Small Guide To Enable github to vercel automatic deployments

*After disabling them earlier

We all know you can configure github->vercel repos and get your CI/CD going in few clicks.

Had a project where I wanted to disable any deployments, found a way in vercel settings and that worked great.

You go to project settings -> git -> select "Don't build anything" and we are set.

Well this is all great and everything but coming back after months to enable deployments was tricky. First few search results didn't help, message in deployment "Deployment Cancelled" did give a clue though but was it was hard to pin point where exactly did I make this change to disable deployments. Found it after "some" clicking on seemingly relatable setting names. Well its as shown in figure below

project -> settings -> git -> Change as per your requirement

This post is more of a guide/note before I forget how to do it again. Might be more neat ways out there to get this done in vercel CLI etc or otherwise.
