# Sync
|
|
|
|
LiveCodes local data can be synchronized to a GitHub repo. This can be used as a cloud backup, and to synchronize multiple devices.
|
|
|
|
A GitHub account is required. The user must give access to [(Private Repos) while logging in](./github-integration.html.md).
|
|
|
|
The Sync screen can be accessed from the Settings menu → Sync.
|
|
|
|
import RunInLiveCodes from '../../src/components/RunInLiveCodes.tsx';
|
|
|
|
<RunInLiveCodes params={{ screen: 'sync' }} linkText="direct link" />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Data can be synchronized to a new (**private**) or existing repo.
|
|
|
|
The data is synchronized with the `main` branch in a directory named `livecodes-data`.
|
|
|
|
If `Auto sync` is selected, the sync will be attempted every 5 minutes. Remote files are downloaded only when changed (e.g. sync from another device).
|
|
|
|
`Auto sync` can be turned off and on by the switch on the Settings menu.
|
|
|
|
The sync can be manually triggered at any time from the Sync UI. Information regarding the last sync time and repo are displayed on the UI screen.
