GitHub & Repos

Why connect GitHub

Connecting GitHub gives your project real version control: push your code, pull changes, and keep a full history - and it means your code is always yours, in your own repo.

Step 1 - Connect your GitHub account

1. Open the GitHub panel.
2. Click Connect with GitHub. A browser window opens for you to sign in and authorize LilBuz.
3. Once approved, your GitHub username and avatar appear as the connected account.

Step 2 - Choose a repository

You have two options:

• Create a new repository - enter a Repository Name (pre-filled from your project), choose Private or public, and click Create Repository.
• Connect an existing repository - click Load My Repositories, pick one from the dropdown, and click Connect & Pull to bring its code into LilBuz.

Step 3 - Sync your code

Once a repo is connected you'll see it linked at the top, with a branch selector and a visibility badge. There are two tabs:

• Sync - shows your commit count, files tracked, and last push. Write a commit message and click Push to GitHub, or click Pull to bring down the latest changes.
• Pull Requests - view open PRs, open them on GitHub, or merge.

LilBuz keeps your project and your repo in sync as you work, so your latest code is always saved to GitHub.

Note on large first pushes: the very first sync of a big project is uploaded in chunks to stay within GitHub's limits. You'll see a progress bar with the current chunk and an estimated time - this is normal and only happens for large initial uploads.
