# GitHub for version control

> Connect your GitHub repo to Same.new to sync code, track changes, and streamline full-stack app development with prompt-powered workflows.

## What is GitHub?

[GitHub](https://github.com/) is a **code hosting platform** for **version control** and **collaboration**. It allows you to store your code, track changes, and work with others on projects.

When you connect Same with GitHub, you can use natural language to:

* Create and manage repositories for your projects
* Push your project code to GitHub automatically
* Track changes and maintain version history

## Get started with GitHub

  <Step title="Authorize the connection">
    Follow the page instructions to approve the connection. You may need to sign up for an account if you don't have one yet.

    <Info>
      GitHub is free for personal users.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a repository for your project">
    Once the connection is successful, directly ask Same to:

    ```md theme={null}
    Create a GitHub repository for my project and push my code
    ```

    Same will automatically create a repository and push your project code to GitHub.
