Work with project code
Edit the local workspace, export it, or create a connected GitHub repository.
Layerwise keeps each project's source in a local workspace. Assistant changes and changes you make yourself use those same files.
Use the built-in editor
- Open the mode menu in the preview header.
- Choose Open in → Built-in editor.
- Select a file, make the edit, and save it.
- Return to Preview and refresh the app.
The file tree supports creating, renaming, and deleting files or folders. Markdown files can be previewed. Binary files and files larger than 10 MB cannot be edited inline.
Open the workspace elsewhere
The Open in menu lists supported installed editors, terminals, and file managers. Select one to open the same local workspace in that app.
If an app is not listed, use a listed file manager to open the workspace folder.
Export a project
Choose Project actions → Export ZIP. Your browser downloads a ZIP archive of the current local workspace.
Connect GitHub
- In Account, select Connect GitHub if you have not connected it yet.
- In the project preview header, select the GitHub icon.
- Choose the owner, repository name, description, homepage, and visibility.
- Select Create repo.
Layerwise creates and connects the repository. The GitHub control then lets you open the repository or disconnect it. Disconnecting removes the project link; it does not delete the GitHub repository.
