Enterprise Feature GitHub Export

Keep the project source.
Use your own Git workflow.

Export the generated project to GitHub on an eligible plan. Your team can inspect the files, make changes, and configure its own deployment workflow.

Start Building How It Works

When source access matters

A hosted builder is convenient, but source access matters when a developer needs to review, extend, or move the site.

  • Hosting choices can be limited
  • Generated source may be unavailable
  • Dependent on platform uptime

A standard project repository

Pagesmith can push the generated project to GitHub, where your team can review the actual source and continue with familiar tools.

  • Choose hosting that supports the project
  • Standard Astro + Tailwind CSS
  • Keep a copy in your repository

Technical Specifications

What's inside the export?

Astro Framework

Astro supports content-focused sites and lets the project ship client-side JavaScript only where the implementation needs it.

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first styling. No massive CSS bundles, just the classes you use, optimized for production.

React Components

Interactive elements are built with React, isolated in "islands" so they don't slow down the initial load.

Asset Optimization

Project assets can include responsive formats and sizes selected during generation.

TypeScript Ready

Type safety is available out of the box for robust, maintainable codebases.

Responsive Design

Responsive layouts that your team can test and adjust for the devices it supports.

How Export Works

Connect a repository, then push the project.

Connect GitHub

On an eligible plan, authorize GitHub and choose a repository available to the connected account.

$ npm install
$ npm run dev

GitHub Integration

Push the project files when you are ready. Review the repository before adding your own build and deployment settings.

Connects to private or public repos
Works with deployment workflows you configure

Code Export FAQs

What exactly do I get when I export?
On an eligible plan, Pagesmith exports the generated project files to GitHub. A typical project uses Astro, Tailwind CSS, and components needed by the site. Review the repository contents and setup instructions after export.
Is there any vendor lock-in?
The exported project uses standard source files that you can keep and modify. Forms, databases, analytics, or other managed services may need new configuration or replacements if you move away from Pagesmith.
Can I edit the code after exporting?
Yes. A developer can clone the repository, install its dependencies, and change the source. They should first review the project structure, environment settings, and external services it uses.
How does GitHub integration work?
Connect GitHub on an eligible plan, select an available repository, and push the project files. You can then configure reviews and deployment workflows in GitHub.
