Learn how to connect Builder Projects to your GitLab Cloud account. Once your account is connected, design visual changes within Builder and then share your AI assisted code with your team through a pull request.
To connect your GitLab Cloud account to GitHub:
- On the Projects page, click the down arrow next to Connect Repo.
- Choose the GitLab option.
- On the following screen, click Connect GitLab.
- When prompted, click Authorize Builder.io integration to grant Builder access to your repositories.
You are now connected to GitLab Cloud from Builder. You are then prompted to choose a specific repository for your Project.
For more details on connecting to a specific repository, visit Connecting an existing repo.
To create a net-new application from an existing repository:
- Go to the Projects page in the Builder app.
- Click the Connect Repo button, or click the down arrow to choose your version control platform.
- Choose an application from your linked repositories.
- Select Setup Visual Editing.
- Typically, you should select Start Auto Setup. If your application lacks configuration files or has a particularly complicated setup process, select Use Manual Setup.
- Builder's AI searches for configuration files and sets up your Project for you. In the meantime, add environment variables to the form on the right, if applicable.
- Click the Finish Setup button. This brings you to Builder's Visual Editor where you can prompt the AI for changes to your Project.
