# Connecting Your GitHub
> Push your Architect-generated app straight to your own GitHub repository and keep it in sync as you iterate.
## Why Connect GitHub?
Architect isn't a walled garden. If you connect your GitHub account, the full source code of any app you build can be pushed into a repository you own — so you can clone it, run it locally, collaborate with your team, or deploy it wherever you want.
## How to Connect
Inside any app you've built, click the **GitHub icon in the top-right corner** of the app view, then authenticate with your GitHub account.
After signing in, GitHub will ask you to **authorize Lyzr Architect** to access your account. Approve the request to grant Architect permission to create and push to repositories on your behalf.
Once authorized, Architect creates a repository for your app and pushes the initial codebase to your account.
## Automatic Commits on Every Change
After GitHub is connected, you don't need to manually sync anything. Every change you make in Architect — whether it's refining an agent, tweaking the UI, or updating a prompt — is automatically pushed to your repository as a new commit.
This means your GitHub repo always mirrors the latest state of your app in Architect, giving you a full version history out of the box.
