# Import & Migrate

> Bring your existing projects from other AI builders into Workshop and keep building with full-stack capabilities.

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.

## How It Works

The import process follows the same pattern for all tools:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Export your project to GitHub">
    Use your current tool's GitHub integration to sync or export your project code to a GitHub repository.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect GitHub in Workshop">
    Link your GitHub account in Workshop via the Hub connectors panel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new project from your repo">
    Import the GitHub repository as a new Workshop project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask the agent to set up your project">
    Workshop's AI agent will configure the development environment, install dependencies, and get your project running.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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](/getting-started/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

<Note>
  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.).
