Bilt connects to GitHub so your app’s source code lives in your own repository. Bilt mirrors your project to a GitHub repository and keeps the two in sync as you build. You manage everything from Settings → GitHub in your project.

​
What it is

GitHub integration mirrors your Bilt project to a repository in your GitHub account or organization. Your app’s source code lives in a real repo with version history — not just inside Bilt — so you can clone it, share it with others, and use the same Git workflows you would on any other project. Bilt keeps the repository updated as you build.

​
What you can do

  • Mirror to GitHub — Bilt copies your project to a GitHub repository in the account you choose
  • Two-way sync — Changes you make in Bilt or on GitHub are kept in sync automatically
  • Own your code — Clone the repo, work locally, and continue in any editor
  • Collaborate — Add team members and wire up GitHub Actions or other tooling

​
How it’s organized

The GitHub settings have two tabs:

​
Working with your code on GitHub

Once your code is on GitHub, you can:
  • Clone and continue development locally
  • Set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
  • Add team members as collaborators
  • Open the project in any editor or IDE
See Code Export for more on working with your code outside Bilt. GitHub integration mirrors your Bilt project out to a repo. If you instead want to base your mobile app on an existing web app’s repository — say a site you built with Lovable, v0, or Bolt — use Web App Sync. It clones that web app into the sandbox alongside your mobile app so the agent can work across both, and it reuses the same connected GitHub accounts.
