Connecting to GitHub
At this step, you can connect your GitHub to access and manage your source code. The process varies depending on which template you selected:
For Free Community Templates
If you're using a Free Community Template, you can connect to GitHub at no additional cost. The source code for these templates is open-source and available for you to download or push to your own repository.
For Paid Advanced Templates
If you're using a Paid Advanced Template, connecting to GitHub will require a one-time fee of credits. This unlocks the source code for your specific project, allowing you to download it or push it to GitHub.
Here is a video example how to connect your application to the GitHub.
When you click this option, you'll see a confirmation dialog explaining the credit cost and asking for your confirmation before proceeding.
Connection Process
To connect your application to GitHub:
Click the Connect to GitHub button in your project dashboard.
If you use a Paid Advanced Template, confirm the one-time credit charge.
The 'Login' window will open, where you need to enter login details for your GitHub account or sign in.
Next, the 'Choose name for your repository' window opens, where you select a name for your repository and privacy settings.
The Flatlogic system will create a GitHub repository and upload your code there.
After this process is complete, you'll have full access to your source code. You can continue working with both the Flatlogic platform (using the Development and Stable environments) and your GitHub repository.
Skipping GitHub Connection
If you prefer not to connect GitHub at this time, you can click Continue to Deployment instead. Your application will deploy to the Development Environment, where you can continue working with the AI Engineer to refine it.
You can always connect to GitHub later by accessing your project settings. The same credit costs will apply for Paid Advanced Templates.
After Connecting
Once your code is on GitHub, you can: - Clone the repository to your local machine - Make direct code changes - Collaborate with other developers - Use your preferred development tools and workflows - Deploy the application to your own hosting environment
Remember that after paying the one-time fee for source code access, you'll always have access to that project's code, even if you make further changes using the AI Engineer.
