Already have a project in another tool? You can bring it into Workshop and continue building — adding backends, databases, AI connectors, and more. Workshop supports importing projects from any tool that can export code to GitHub. Choose your source tool below to get started.

Import Guides

How It Works

The import process follows the same pattern for all tools:
1

Export your project to GitHub

Use your current tool’s GitHub integration to sync or export your project code to a GitHub repository.
2

Connect GitHub in Workshop

Link your GitHub account in Workshop via the Hub connectors panel.
3

Create a new project from your repo

Import the GitHub repository as a new Workshop project.
4

Ask the agent to set up your project

Workshop’s AI agent will configure the development environment, install dependencies, and get your project running.

Workshop Desktop vs Workshop Cloud

Both Workshop Desktop and Workshop Cloud support importing projects from GitHub, but Workshop Desktop is recommended for imported projects because it gives you:
  • Full local development environment with terminal access and file system control
  • Local model support for privacy-sensitive work
  • More flexibility for custom build tools, runtimes, and deployment targets
  • Direct “Import from Git” in the new project flow
Workshop Cloud works too — you create a project, link the GitHub repository, and pull the code. See Cloud vs Desktop for a detailed comparison.

After Importing

Once your project is running in Workshop, you can ask the agent to extend it in ways your original tool may not support:
  • Add AI capabilities with Claude, GPT, or Gemini connectors
  • Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or other databases
  • Build a Python/FastAPI backend alongside your frontend
  • Integrate with Salesforce, Stripe, Twilio, or other APIs
  • Set up deployment to Netlify, Vercel, Railway, or your own infrastructure
Workshop’s one-click publish is designed for projects built within Workshop. For imported projects, ask the agent to help you set up deployment to your preferred hosting provider (Netlify, Vercel, etc.).
