Valoryx Cloud can sync your documentation with a GitHub repository. This gives you the best of both worlds: a beautiful web editor AND the full power of git.
Why connect GitHub?
- Backup — your docs are always safe in GitHub, even if you cancel your account
- IDE editing — developers on your team can edit docs in VS Code, Vim, or any editor
- Pull requests — use GitHub’s PR workflow for doc reviews before publishing
- Version history — full git blame, diff, and rollback for every change
- CI/CD integration — trigger builds or tests when docs change
How it works
You edit in browser → auto-saves → auto-commits → pushes to GitHub
↕
Teammate pushes from IDE → GitHub → webhook → pulls to Valoryx
Changes flow in both directions automatically. You never have to think about syncing.
Setting up
- Go to Workspace Settings → Git Sync
- Click Connect GitHub
- Authorize Valoryx to access your repositories
- Select the repo and branch to sync with
- Done — your workspace is now connected
What gets synced
Every page in your workspace maps to a .md file in the repository:
your-repo/
├── getting-started.md
├── api/
│ ├── authentication.md
│ └── endpoints.md
├── guides/
│ ├── deployment.md
│ └── troubleshooting.md
└── .docplatform.yaml ← workspace metadata
Do I need GitHub?
No. GitHub sync is completely optional. Valoryx Cloud works perfectly without it. Your docs are stored securely on our servers. GitHub adds backup and IDE access — but it’s not required for any feature to work.
