Back Up to GitHub

Your projects are real code, and they’re yours — push them to your own GitHub account whenever you like.

Click Git in the top bar. The first time, you’ll connect with a GitHub personal access token:

  1. Follow the personal access token link in the popover — it opens GitHub with the right settings pre-filled (repo scope).
  2. Generate the token, copy it, paste it into Plyy, and hit Connect GitHub.

The token is stored privately on your machine. disconnect removes it.

With the popover open:

  1. Check the repository name — it defaults to plyy-<project-name> so your Plyy projects group together in your account. Change it if you like.
  2. Pick a Branchmain by default. Type a different name (say client-review or v1) to snapshot this version onto its own branch; branches are created if missing, and pushing to one never touches the others.
  3. Push to GitHub. The repo is created private under your account if it doesn’t exist, your current files are committed, and everything is pushed. You get a link to the repo when it’s done.

Push again any time you want a new snapshot — unchanged projects just confirm the push, no empty commits. Using a branch per milestone gives you named versions you can always go back to on GitHub.
