Bilt connects to GitHub so your app’s source code is always in version control. Push code to a repo, create pull requests, and sync changes between Bilt and GitHub.

Connecting GitHub

1

Open project settings

Go to your project → Settings → GitHub tab
2

Authenticate

Click Connect GitHub. You’ll authorize the Bilt GitHub App via OAuth.
3

Install the GitHub App

Grant the Bilt app access to the repositories you want to connect.
4

Link a repository

Choose an existing repo or let Bilt create one for you.

Connection types

TypeBehavior
MirrorBilt pushes all code changes to the linked repo automatically
Webapp sourceTwo-way connection — changes flow between Bilt and GitHub

What you can do

  • Automatic code sync — Every change in Bilt is reflected in your GitHub repo
  • Pull requests — Bilt can create PRs for changes, letting you review before merging
  • Branch management — Code is organized in branches per workflow
  • Full history — Your entire build history is preserved in git

Disconnecting

You can disconnect GitHub at any time from the project settings. Your code remains in both Bilt and the GitHub repo — no data is lost.

Working with exported code

Once your code is on GitHub, you can:
  • Clone and continue development locally
  • Set up CI/CD pipelines
  • 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.
