Hey all. Have a quick query please. I am pushing my plasmic project code into Github and then making my own custom changes on that repository. When I publish a new PlasmicUI version I’ve noticed it’ll delete the custom changes and only retain the code generated from Plasmic. Is there a way to sync a Github repository which contains custom changes back into Plasmic so that Plasmic won’t overwrite it when I publish the next version?
my understanding of what where you’re at:
You created a project in Plasmic. From the project, you published to GitHub and created a new repository. From GitHub, you downloaded the code to local.
Now that you’ve done that; you’d like to edit the Plasmic project and sync your project.
It sounds like you haven’t initialized the CLI locally for CodeGen
plasmic sync Syncs designs from Plasmic to local files
This still seems to be only syncing one way
PlasmicUI => Local dev branch
I’m looking for a way to sync
Local dev branch => PlasmicUI
Wondering if there is any inbuilt tool for this? CLI doesn’t appear to support this.
ya, from what I’ve seen, if you already have a UI, there isn’t a way to sync that into Plasmic; there is a Figma export; and depending on the build; if you already have the components already built; it isn’t that hard to reassmble them into Plasmic once you get the hang of it
I was thinking about it afterwards; and you might want to check out https://docs.plasmic.app/learn/code-component-substitution/ (especially the video) and it might get you what you’re looking for as well
