Why would you want to enable GitHub sync?

Connect GitHub if you want to take your Rork app beyond the Rork editor and into traditional development tools.

GitHub lets you:

  • Share your project with a developer for collaboration or customization
  • Open and edit your app in Cursor or any code editor
  • Run and debug the project in Xcode for iOS development
  • Make code-level changes that go beyond prompt-based building
GitHub serves as the bridge between Rork and professional development workflows, facilitating seamless handoffs, customization, and native development. If you’re staying fully inside Rork, GitHub is optional.
If you want deeper control, collaboration, or native tooling, it’s recommended.

Step-by-step guide:
  1. Click Integrations Image
  2. Click connect with GitHub Image
  3. Once GitHub opens, create an account. Then click install and authorize

What You Can Do Now

With GitHub connected, your Rork project is no longer limited to the Rork editor. You can now:
  • Hand your project to a developer
    Share the repository so a developer can clone, edit, and push changes.
  • Open the project in Cursor or a code editor
    Inspect and modify the generated code using Cursor, VS Code, or any IDE.
  • Run and debug the app in Xcode
    Build locally, test on real devices, and use Apple’s native debugging tools.
  • Customize beyond prompts
    Make precise code-level changes, add native features, or fine-tune performance.
  • Work in parallel with Rork
    Continue building in Rork while edits are made through GitHub.
This integration enables you to transition smoothly from prompt-based building to full code control, whenever you’re ready.
