Are you tired of manually downloading and pushing your Bolt.new projects to GitHub? As developers, we’re always looking for ways to automate repetitive tasks. That’s why I created the Bolt to GitHub Chrome extension – a tool that seamlessly bridges the gap between Bolt.new’s powerful development environment and your GitHub repositories.
What Is Bolt to GitHub?
Bolt to GitHub is a Chrome extension that automatically intercepts ZIP file downloads from bolt.new, extracts them in your browser, and pushes the contents directly to your specified GitHub repository. No more manual downloads, unzipping, and git commands – it’s all handled automatically with just a few clicks.
