How does the automation process for exporting code from Webflow to Github work?

Published on

To export code from Webflow to Github, you can use the automation process by following these steps:

  1. Connect your Webflow project to a new Git repository in Github by navigating to your project settings in Webflow and selecting the "Git" tab.

  2. Click on the "Connect to GitHub" button and authenticate with your Github account.

  3. Once connected, you can choose to perform a one-time export or enable continuous exporting with automatic syncing.

  4. For a one-time export, simply click on the "Publish to Github" button in your Webflow project settings. This will create a new branch in your connected Github repository with the exported code from your Webflow project.

  5. If you want to enable continuous exporting, toggle on the "Enable Continous Deployment" option. This will automatically export and sync code from Webflow to Github whenever you publish changes in your Webflow project.

  6. By default, Webflow exports code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript format. However, if you need more control over the code export, you can use custom code snippets or modify the Webflow design and export settings.

  7. Once the code is exported to Github, you can manage it like any other Code Repository. You can review changes, create branches, merge code, and collaborate with your team.

This automation process for exporting code from Webflow to Github allows you to integrate your Webflow design workflow with a version control system and collaborate more effectively with developers.
