# Code Export

> Own your code — export clean React Native source anytime

Bilt generates standard React Native code. You own it, and you can export it at any time — no lock-in, no proprietary formats.

## What you get

When you export code from Bilt, you get a complete React Native project:

* **Clean, readable source** — Production-quality code the AI generated
* **Standard structure** — Follows React Native conventions; works with standard toolchains
* **All assets included** — Images, icons, fonts, and configuration files
* **No Bilt dependencies** — The exported code runs independently of Bilt (unless you used Bilt Payments or a Bilt-managed backend)

## How to export

**Via GitHub** — [Connect a GitHub repo](/docs/features/github-integration) and your code syncs automatically. Clone and work locally anytime.

## What you can do with exported code

* Continue development in **any code editor** — Xcode, VS Code, Cursor, or your preferred IDE
* Set up **CI/CD pipelines** for automated testing and deployment
* Hand off to a **development team** for further work
* Submit to the App Store or Google Play through your own pipeline

## No lock-in

Bilt is designed to be useful as long as you want it, but never mandatory. You can:

* Build the entire app in Bilt and export once
* Use Bilt for rapid prototyping, then develop natively
* Keep using Bilt for iteration while also working in the exported codebase
* Switch away completely at any time
