Integration with GitHub in Wix Studio

Integration with GitHub is a seamless process when working with Wix Studio, whether you are a Wix Studio designer, developer, or part of a Wix Studio agency. At Davydov Consulting, we facilitate this integration to ensure that your workflow is efficient and well-managed. Here is a refined breakdown of how GitHub integration benefits various roles within the Wix Studio environment:

1. Wix Studio Designer:
As a Wix Studio Designer, integrating with GitHub allows you to track changes and versions of your designs over time. You can work in your preferred IDE or use the built-in Code panel in Wix Studio. The integration supports serverless coding, enabling you to focus more on creating captivating designs and less on server management (source).

2. Wix Studio Developer:
For a Wix Studio Developer, GitHub integration is a boon. You can code directly in Wix Studio or use your favorite IDE. The process involves creating a GitHub repository for your site's code and connecting it to your Wix Studio project. Once connected, you can clone your site's repository to your local machine, write, test, and publish code for your Wix site locally. This GitHub integration also includes setting up your local environment with Git, Node, and the Wix CLI to ensure a smooth development workflow (source).

3. Wix Studio Agency:
A Wix Studio Agency can significantly benefit from GitHub integration by maintaining a well-organized version control system for all projects. This integration allows multiple developers to collaborate on projects seamlessly, track changes, and maintain a history of code versions. It's an excellent way for agencies to manage larger projects and ensure that all code is well-organized and accessible.

4. Davydov Consulting:

Setting Up GitHub Integration with Wix Studio:

2. Connect to GitHub: In Editor X, click on the GitHub Integration icon on the Velo Sidebar, then click 'Connect to GitHub' and follow the prompts to sign in to your GitHub account.
3. Install Velo GitHub App: Install the Velo GitHub app on your new repo to allow your site to communicate with GitHub.
4. Local Environment Setup: Clone your site's repo to your computer and install the Wix CLI. Ensure you have Git, Node (version 14.8 or later), and npm or yarn installed on your computer (source).

The integration of GitHub with Wix Studio not only streamlines the development process but also fosters collaboration, version control, and project management, ensuring that your projects are completed efficiently and effectively.
