Make Github repos update automatically

I would love to use glitch with git as it would give us an awesome hosting service while still being able to code in our favourite (favorite for those americans out there) code editor, but with that said, when working with other people on glitch and when the real time editor is used, the merge conflict is pretty big and it is hard to resolve, so i was wondering if this could be a thing. I’m looking forward for an answer because I will be very honest here, the glitch intellisense sucks. Also, is it possible to hook up the live editor from glitch to something like atom or vs code? because the live editor is so damn useful in collab.

Great idea! It would help me greatly too as I don’t have to copy and paste my my code from VS Code into Glitch every time.

I was thinking of doing this as a project in my spare time.

(Also thank you for spelling favourite the British way :slight_smile:, not many people spell it like that)

We do have a few things in the works that might address this better, but I can’t say when they’ll be ready for general consumption.

One thing you can do right now is to set up GitLab’s repo syncing as outlined in https://glitch.com/help/how-to-sync-a-glitch-project-with-a-git-repo-on-gitlab/. That will provide two-way sync between a GitLab repo and your Glitch project so you could work locally, push to GitLab, and have your project update on its own.

Ah yes, that’s good one too!
