Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about the Bolt to GitHub extension

The extension needs a GitHub personal access token to authenticate with GitHub's API on your behalf. This allows the extension to create repositories, push code, and manage your projects without requiring you to enter your password for each operation.

Yes. Your GitHub token is stored securely in your browser's local storage and is only sent to GitHub's servers when making API calls. The extension never sends your token to any third-party servers and follows security best practices for handling sensitive credentials.

After installing the extension from the Chrome Web Store, click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar. You'll be prompted to enter your GitHub personal access token. Once entered, the extension will be fully configured and ready to use with Bolt.new.

Yes, the extension fully supports both public and private repositories. When creating a new repository from Bolt.new, you'll have the option to set its visibility to either public or private.

Currently, the extension is available for Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge and Brave. Support for Firefox and Safari is planned for future releases.

Yes, the extension supports GitHub organizations. If your GitHub token has the necessary permissions for an organization, you can create and manage repositories within that organization directly from Bolt.new.

If you're new to GitHub, we recommend checking out our YouTube tutorials that cover the basics of using GitHub with the extension. Additionally, GitHub's own documentation provides excellent resources for beginners at docs.github.com/en/get-started.

You can report issues or suggest features by creating a new issue in our GitHub repository at github.com/AIDrivenCoder/bolt-to-github/issues. Alternatively, you can join our Discord community to discuss with the developers directly.

Security is a top priority. Your GitHub tokens are stored securely using Chrome's storage API, all communication with GitHub uses HTTPS, and ZIP file processing happens entirely in your browser without sending your data to external servers.

Help & Documentation

Learn how to use Bolt to GitHub effectively

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar
  2. Follow the popup instructions to set up your GitHub access
  3. Once configured, you can use Bolt to GitHub from any bolt.new page

🔒 Private Repository Import

When importing private repositories:

  1. A temporary public clone is created
  2. Bolt starts importing from this clone
  3. The temporary repository is automatically deleted after 1 minute

Important:

After importing a private repository, immediately go to the Settings tab and select your imported repository. This ensures your Bolt changes sync with the correct repository. Skip this step only if you want to create a new repository instead.

🔑 GitHub Token Guide

Classic Personal Access Token

Quick to set up, works with both public and private repositories:

  1. Visit the token creation page
  2. The required scopes (repo, delete_repo) are pre-configured in the link
  3. Click "Generate token" at the bottom and copy the token
  4. Paste the token into the "GitHub Token" field in the "Settings" tab

Fine-Grained Access Token

Alternative option with more granular permission controls:

  1. Visit the fine-grained token page
  2. Set token expiration (or choose "No expiration")
  3. Configure repository access:
    • Select "All repositories"
  4. Configure Permissions:
    • Click the "Repository permissions"
    • Enable "Administration" (Read & Write)
    • Enable "Contents" (Read & Write)
  5. Generate and copy your token
  6. Paste the token into the "GitHub Token" field in the "Settings" tab

🛡️ Security & Privacy

Token Usage & Security:

  • Your GitHub token is used exclusively for GitHub API operations
  • No third-party servers are connected to this extension
  • Tokens are stored securely in your browser's local storage
  • All operations are performed directly between your browser and GitHub's API

Security Notice:

Your GitHub token grants access to your repositories. It is your responsibility to:

  • Keep your token secure and private
  • Never share your token with others
  • Regularly rotate your tokens for enhanced security
  • Revoke tokens immediately if compromised
