GitHub Integration

Connect your GitHub account and push any StackMivo project to a repository in one click, then keep it in sync as you continue building.

StackMivo can push any project directly to a GitHub repository. Once connected, you can export your generated code and continue developing it outside of StackMivo with your normal Git workflow.

GitHub is the only version-control provider available today. Bitbucket and GitLab appear on the Version Control page marked Coming Soon. Linking, labelling, and unlinking your GitHub account is covered in Version Control.

Pushing a project to GitHub

Open your project in the IDE
Click Sync with GitHub in the workbench toolbar (or GitHub in the header)
If no GitHub account is linked yet, you're taken to GitHub to authorise StackMivo. Approve and you're returned to the app
Click Sync with GitHub again

On the first sync StackMivo creates a private repository on your linked account, named after the project's unique ID, pushes the full project to it, and opens the repository in a new tab. There's no repository name or visibility to choose.

Syncing requires a Build plan and can only be started by the team owner.

Re-pushing after changes

Click Sync with GitHub again at any time. The latest changes are pushed to the same repository. Before pushing, StackMivo merges any commits that exist only on GitHub, so edits you made directly on GitHub aren't overwritten. Where the same lines changed in both places, the StackMivo version wins.

AI changes are also committed automatically after every AI response, with a configurable commit-message prefix. See GitHub Sync settings.

Importing from GitHub

You can create a StackMivo project by importing an existing GitHub repository rather than generating from scratch.

GitHub import requires a Build plan. It is not available on the Free or Prototype tiers. See Free & Prototype tiers.

Requirements

Your repository must use:

Laravel 12+
PHP 8.2+
Node.js 20+ (only if your project has a package.json)

How to import

On the Chat page, click Import from GitHub
Paste your GitHub repository URL
For private repositories, add your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)
- The token is used only for cloning and is never stored
Click Validate. StackMivo checks the detected versions
If validation passes, click Import
The project is cloned from the default branch and a container is provisioned

Personal Access Tokens for private repos

To import a private repository, you need a GitHub PAT with repo scope:

Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
Click Generate new token
Select the repo scope
Copy the token and paste it into the import form

The token is used only once during the cloning step and is not stored by StackMivo.
