Why connect GitHub

GitHub integration is required for deploying your app to the App Store or Google Play. It also gives you:
  • Full source code in your own repository
  • Version history of all changes
  • Ability to clone and develop independently

​
Connecting GitHub

  1. Click Deploy in the editor
  2. Choose Android or iOS deployment
  3. Authorize Fastshot to access your GitHub account
  4. A repository is created automatically for your app
GitHub connection happens as part of the deployment flow. You don’t need to set it up separately.

​
What gets synced

  • All app source code (components, screens, navigation, styles)
  • Configuration files (app.json, package.json, etc.)
  • Assets (icons, images, fonts)
  • Expo build configuration
Code is pushed to GitHub automatically when you deploy. Each deployment creates a new commit with your latest changes.

​
Using the source code

Once your code is on GitHub, you can:
  • Clone the repo — work on the code locally with your own editor
  • Deploy independently — use Expo CLI or EAS Build directly
  • Collaborate — invite other developers to the repository
  • Customize further — make changes that go beyond what the AI can do
The generated code uses standard React Native + Expo patterns, so any developer familiar with the stack can work with it.

Repository structure

Your GitHub repository mirrors the project structure:
