GitHub, export, and import

You own your code. Mythex provides common ways to move it in and out of the product. Export ZIP and GitHub sync are Pro features. Free users can view code (read-only) and use Preview + terminal; upgrade to download or sync.

Export .tar.gz

From project settings → Export, download the project as a .tar.gz archive (Pro). Secrets and node_modules are excluded — safe to move between environments.

Import an archive

Import is into the current project — not a separate “create project from archive” flow on the dashboard. From project settings → Export, choose Import into this project with a .tar.gz, .tgz, or .zip.
  • Replaces this project’s files with the archive contents
  • Existing project secrets stay
  • Imported .env files are stripped (re-add secrets in Settings)
Use it to restore a backup or bring an existing codebase into an empty project sandbox.

GitHub sync

Pro only.
  1. Connect GitHub from settings (OAuth) while logged into Mythex
  2. From the project, push/pull against the linked repository
GitHub OAuth here is for repo sync, not the primary signup method. Sign up / sign in still uses email or Google.

Tips

  • Connect GitHub before a large handoff to an engineering team
  • Prefer clean checkpoints before force-push style operations in your own remotes
  • On Free, upgrade to Pro to export or sync GitHub
