Connecting your project to GitHub provides an easy way to save and back up your work. The integration currently supports a one-way sync from your Slater project to GitHub, meaning changes made in your project can be saved to GitHub, but not the other way around.

How to Connect and Save to GitHub

Connect Github:

• Go to your Account page, https://slater.app/users/edit.
• Click the Connect Github button.
• Follow the Github connection screens.

Next, add your Github Repo:

• Open your project.
• Go to Project Settings
• Click the Save to Github checkbox.
• Add the Github Repo URL (e.g. https://github.com/user/repo_name.git)
• Click save.

Save to Github:

• Open your project.
• Go to the Save dropdown menu.
• Select the option to save to GitHub.
• Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut:
  • Command + G (on Mac)

Important Details

• One-way sync: Only saves from the project to GitHub. Updates made directly on GitHub will not sync back.
• Ensure you have the necessary permissions to connect and save to the desired GitHub repository.
