How it works
Understanding GitHub's Role in Quome
GitHub serves as the backbone for professional software development, providing Git-based version control that tracks every change to your codebase.
When you connect GitHub integration:
- Initial sync - Quome pushes your current app code to the repository
- Automatic commits - Every app change creates a commit with a clear message
- Branch management - Changes go to a development branch by default
- Pull requests - Quome can create PRs for review workflows
- Deployment hooks - Deploy from GitHub using webhooks or Actions
Quick setup
- Go to project settings - Click the settings icon for your app
- Connect GitHub - Click "Connect GitHub" and authorize the Quome app
- Choose repository - Create a new repo or connect to an existing one
- Sync automatically - All future changes sync to GitHub automatically
| Capability | Benefit for Quome Users |
|---|---|
| Automated Backups | Every change in your Quome App Builder creates commits that are immediately saved to GitHub, providing redundant storage for your application code |
| Collaborative Development | Technical and business stakeholders can review, comment, and contribute to your project using pull requests and issues |
| Continuous Integration | Leverage GitHub Actions to automate security scans, compliance checks, and deployments as your application evolves |
| Multi-Environment Deployment | Deploy your Quome application to any infrastructure while maintaining the connection to Quome's development environment |

Setting up the connection
Step 1: Authorize the GitHub app
Click "Connect GitHub" in your project settings. You'll be redirected to GitHub to:
- Install the Quome GitHub app (first time only)
- Choose which repositories Quome can access
- Grant necessary permissions
Step 2: Repository setup
Choose how to handle your repository:
| Option | Best for | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Create new repository | New projects | Quome creates a private repo with your code |
| Use existing repository | Existing projects | Quome pushes to a branch in your repo |
Quome can deploy to any GitHub organization where you have appropriate permissions. During the authorization process, you can grant access to multiple organizations, enabling flexible enterprise collaboration across different organizational boundaries.
Phase 2: Repository Initialization
Once authentication completes, Quome automatically provisions a new GitHub repository containing:
your-project-name/
├── backend/ # Python API server with database
├── frontend/ # React application with TypeScript
├── testing/ # Automated testing suite (Playwright)
├── compose.yml # Docker orchestration configuration
├── dev.Dockerfile # Development container setup

- GitHub Repository: Verify all project files are present and properly organized
- Sync Test: Make a small change in Quome and confirm it appears in GitHub within 30 seconds
Multi-Project Management
Each Quome project creates its own dedicated GitHub repository. This isolation ensures clear separation of concerns and simplifies compliance auditing for regulated applications.
GitHub Synchronization Architecture
Quome's GitHub integration operates through a secure, automated synchronization engine that ensures your development work is continuously backed up and accessible through GitHub's collaboration platform.
Branch Management Strategy
Primary Branch Focus
The integration monitors and synchronizes exclusively with your repository's default branch (commonly main or master). This design choice supports several enterprise requirements:
- Compliance Auditing: Creates a single, authoritative source of truth for regulatory reviews
- Security Oversight: Simplifies access control and security monitoring
- Deployment Consistency: Ensures production deployments always reflect the same codebase seen in Quome
Multi-Branch Considerations
Development work on feature branches remains isolated from Quome until merged to the default branch. This pattern supports:
- Code review processes required by enterprise security policies
- Feature flag management and gradual rollouts
- Quality assurance workflows that validate changes before production
Synchronization Architecture
Current Implementation: Quome → GitHub
Quome currently supports unidirectional synchronization, automatically pushing changes from your Quome project to the connected GitHub repository. This ensures your code is continuously backed up and available for external collaboration.
Structured Commit Generation
Every change made through the Quome interface creates structured commits that include:
- Descriptive Messages: Auto-generated commit messages that document the specific changes made
- Metadata Tags: Additional context about the change source (AI-generated, manual edit, etc.)
- Compliance Artifacts: Updated SBOM files and security configuration changes
- Timestamp Records: Precise change timing for audit trail purposes
Future Enhancement: Bidirectional Sync
GitHub → Quome synchronization is planned for future releases, which will enable:
- Real-time updates when developers push changes directly to GitHub
- Seamless collaboration between Quome's AI-assisted development and traditional Git workflows
- Automatic conflict detection and resolution protocols
Repository Management
With unidirectional synchronization, repository management focuses on maintaining clean, traceable development history:
Commit Organization: Quome automatically organizes commits with clear attribution and comprehensive metadata, making it easy to track project evolution and regulatory compliance.
Branch Protection: Since changes flow from Quome to GitHub, you can implement GitHub branch protection rules to:
- Require manual reviews before changes reach production branches
- Run automated security scans and compliance checks
- Integrate with CI/CD pipelines for deployment automation
External Collaboration: Team members can review, comment, and create issues on GitHub while development continues in Quome, enabling hybrid workflows that combine AI-assisted development with traditional code review processes.
Working with Existing Codebases
While Quome's GitHub integration excels at managing new projects, incorporating existing codebases requires specific migration strategies. Here are the current approaches available:
