This feature unlocks a development workflow where you work in a new chat with a fresh branch and deploy by reviewing and merging the PR through GitHub. If you find another workflow that works well for you, feel free to share in the comments
This is still in beta so there may be rough edges, but the more bug reports we get the faster we can fix them
how do I turn this v0 auto-sync OFF? I’d like not to clutter git with every change I do in the chat especially when I am still exploring concepts. Here is how I’d like to work:
Make a change to my code in chat
Manually deploy to vercel via the deploy button (this works quite well)
Continue iterations of 1,2
Then when satisfied w my changes, explicit manually commit all changes to git (with a pre-populated commit comment) from the v0 UI
Optional:
5) Retain current feature where vercel listen to git commits and then decide if need to do a new deploy
Have you tried switching to a new branch and doing your v0 dev from there? Then you can deploy previews at any time, and your “explicit manual commit” is just a PR into the main branch
so i have been pushing to Github from before but since the sync was added ill work on a code and if im inactive it says its found a update in git and just pulls it in the chat it happens before you deploy and sometimes randomly
Thanks Jacob - yeah I read from your announcement this is your suggested workflow. However when I branch this also creates a new chat and that new chat does not have the context of my original chat - only the code. So I cannot refer to previous information (in my case I gave v0 a tasks.md file to work thru) - so lot of info and past context lost.
I think branching is useful but I definitely also think my workflow is a very typical use-case: I want to control when the system sync with git and the typical use-case is only after a few iterations of vo coding, deploying and testing then we have a new workable milestone to push. Likew=ise I should also be able to sync from git v0.. obviously you will have to think thru how you would handle conflicts…
i agree with this it shoudl only pull when we ask it to lets say we manually code something in or added something from else where we can pull it in and it push to the hub when we push it but the sync is not a very good use case
This is great @jacobparis ! Glad to see you shipping the feedback so quickly too.
I have a question: What is the optimal workflow for creating a preview deployment?
I’d like to have my main production domain linked with the main branch, but for maybe “test” branches, I’d like to deploy it to my vercel account under another “staging” domain for internal testing first.
How would I do this with the new v0 git workflow + Vercel?
We recently shipped this feature to let you choose whether a deployment goes to production or to a preview environment
And now with the git sync, it’ll only let you deploy to preview if you’re synced to a branch instead of to main, so devs on your team can’t accidentally override production
I am on a team plan but I dont believe we have access, would love to use this ASAP is there any way you can help? I believe a team plan is higher than a premium plan, or is this only for a premium plan?
Hey Jacob, do team plans get access to this feature? As Im not seeing the ability to do any bi-drectional sync and I can only connect to github, and nothing else. thanks!
Hi. Does this feature facilitate a 2-way-sync with Github? In other words, can I work on my apps backend in VSCode, push the changes to Github and then will those changes be pushed back to v0 so i can continue working on my frontend simultaneously?
