# GitHub Integration

> Connect GitHub to manage your app's source code

## 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

<Tip>
  GitHub connection happens as part of the deployment flow. You don't need to set it up separately.
</Tip>

## 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:

```
app.json              # App configuration
App.tsx               # Root component
app/                  # Screens (Expo Router)
store/                # State management
constants/            # Theme and design tokens
assets/               # Images, icons, fonts
package.json          # Dependencies
```
