To push your code iterations from Bolt.new to GitHub, follow these steps based on the latest workflows and official guidance:
1. Connect Bolt.new to GitHub
- In your Bolt.new project, go to Integrations > GitHub.
- If this is your first time, you’ll be prompted to log in to GitHub and authorize StackBlitz/Bolt.new to access your account.
- Enter a name for your new repository or select an existing one.
- Click Create repository (for new) or Choose this repository (for existing). Bolt will confirm the connection and your project will be linked to the GitHub repo.
2. Push Your Changes from Bolt.new to GitHub
- Once your project is connected, look for the GitHub integration panel or button within Bolt.new.
- Make your code changes in Bolt.new.
- When ready, click the GitHub button. You’ll be prompted for a commit message. Enter a meaningful message and confirm.
- The extension or integration will show progress and confirm when your changes are pushed.
- To verify, you can use the “Open GitHub repository” button to view your commits directly on GitHub.
3. Iterating Locally and Syncing Back to Bolt.new (Optional)
- If you want to work locally, download your Bolt.new project as a ZIP, extract it, and initialize a local Git repository if needed.
- Make your changes using your preferred editor (e.g., VS Code).
- Commit and push your changes to the connected GitHub repository using standard Git commands (
git add .,git commit -m "message",git push). - To bring local or GitHub changes back into Bolt.new, you can re-import the repository via the Bolt.new homepage by selecting GitHub and choosing your repository.
4. Using Automation Tools (Optional)
- For a smoother workflow, you can use browser extensions like “Bolt to GitHub” which automatically detect Bolt.new ZIP downloads and push them to your chosen GitHub repository with custom commit messages and real-time status updates.
- This is especially useful if you frequently download/export from Bolt.new and want to automate the push process.
Important Notes
- Bolt.new currently works best with individual GitHub accounts, not organization accounts.
- If you make your repository public, you can more easily use external tools and re-import into Bolt.new, but private repos are supported for most workflows.
- If you lose the “Open in Bolt.new” option after connecting to GitHub, you may need to re-import or create a new repository for each round-trip.
Summary Table: Bolt.new to GitHub Workflow
