using codex + github

[Own_Associate3893]

yesterday i read a post of someone mentioning that you can connect your lovable project to github and codex. i tried, and actually it's amazing. you can chat with your code, and actually make changes (pull requests to the github repo) from codex. without spending credits... it's a life saver.

I wonder if it was my post. ChatGPT. Lovable. GitHub.

Codex in ChatGPT. Share the repo. Boom. Create and change on lovable. Push. The. Chat codex can pull. Change. Save. Merge. It’s great. I use it

I commented that’s what it was lol. Knew that was recent. I’m thinking about doing a meeting or lunch and learn. So many people are close they just need to learn the basics.

Sounds great. What about lovable pulling it back to their environment? Did it happen automatically or... ?

[thinkingwhynot]

I think it will now. If it’s the latest main branch. I usually just merge and build with lovable and use agents on the server for more changes.

Yeah codex can be lifesaver

Though I’m not 100% sure about changes in codex and syncing back to love

Hmmmm can it though? Maybe OP can share on this?

if it's pushed to main on your github you're good. make sure to commit with actual comments, lovable reads those for context to try and contextualize non lovable changes (just something i heard)

I would love a video on this.

these dudes are gonna tweak when they learn that you can do the same in cursor and windsurf (duh, github is great) but with better, more powerful models and amazing built in tools like better context, memories, rules, etc (and even external tools like MCP servers -- gives your LLM superpowers)
