Export to GitHub

Export to GitHub backs up your project to a GitHub repository. Once connected, every change you make in Sticklight automatically syncs to GitHub.

Available on Pro plans.

Who can do this: Owners, Admins, and Editors can connect their own GitHub account. See Roles and Permissions for details.

Why Use It

• Backup your work. Your code lives on GitHub, giving you an additional layer of security.
• Access your code. View, download, or share your project’s source code anytime.
• Use external tools. Open your code in VS Code, Cursor, or other development environments to review it.

Connecting to GitHub

1. Go to Settings in the top menu and select GitHub from the sidebar, or access the GitHub connector from the GitHub button in the top bar near the Publish button
2. Click Connect GitHub
3. Sign in to GitHub if prompted
4. Authorize Sticklight to access your account

Sticklight creates a new repository for your project and pushes your code. From then on, every change syncs automatically.

Disconnecting

1. Go to Settings > GitHub
2. Click Disconnect
3. Confirm your choice

Your GitHub repository stays intact after disconnecting. Sticklight simply stops syncing new changes to it.

If you reconnect later, a new repository will be created.

FAQ

Can I edit code on GitHub and have it sync back to Sticklight?

No. Export to GitHub is one-way. Changes flow from Sticklight to GitHub only.

Can I connect to an existing GitHub repository?

No. Sticklight creates a new repository for each project you connect.

What happens if I downgrade to a Free plan?

Your project loses its GitHub connection and stops syncing. The repository remains on GitHub in its last synced state, but no new changes will be pushed.
