Import from GitHub
Connect your GitHub account, import existing repositories, and let Evonx map your codebase before making changes.
Evonx doesn't only build new software — it evolves software you already have. Connect GitHub, import a repository into a business, and ask for changes the same way you would on a greenfield project. Before touching anything, Evonx maps the codebase so its changes fit how your project actually works.
Connect and import
-
In your business, choose to import from GitHub and authorize the Evonx GitHub connection. You can connect more than one GitHub account and set one as primary.
-
Pick the repositories to import — one or several at once. Each becomes a project inside your business.
-
Let the codebase scan run. Evonx maps modules, services, and APIs into a system graph you can explore — and the AI uses the same map to plan changes safely.
What works on imported projects
Everything in the core loop:
- Ask for changes in plain language; bigger work runs as Evolution Threads with plans you approve.
- Run previews from the Preview Hub — including Analyse & Fix when boots fail.
- Review everything as pull requests — see Publishing changes.
- Check project health with AI reports and recommendations — see Health checks & recommendations.
Good first requests for an imported project
Start small to calibrate: a copy change, a new field on an existing form, a bug you know well. You'll see how the AI navigates your conventions before you hand it bigger work — the same advice as Effective prompting on Evonx.
