True ownership means having the source code on your own GitHub account. Push44 makes this possible for any AI platform: your code moves from their servers to your GitHub in minutes. From there, it's truly yours — independent, permanent, and portable.
📖 Introduction
When AI generates your code, who owns it? Legally, you do. But practically, if it lives on a platform you don't control, you don't truly own it. Real code ownership means having your source code in a location you control — like GitHub — independent of any AI platform.
The Problem with Walled Gardens
AI-built apps create a new kind of lock-in. You own the idea, you directed the AI, you made the product decisions — but the code sits on the AI platform's servers. If you stop paying, they can restrict access. If they shut down, your work is gone.
The Push44 Solution
True ownership means having the source code on your own GitHub account. Push44 makes this possible for any AI platform: your code moves from their servers to your GitHub in minutes. From there, it's truly yours — independent, permanent, and portable.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
4 stepsUnderstand what you're exporting
AI platform code is standard source code — React components, Node.js APIs, CSS, configuration files. It's your code even though AI generated it. Push44 exports it as standard files.
Create your code ownership repository
On GitHub, create a repo specifically for your AI-generated project. Keep it private to protect your work, or public if you want to share it as open source.
Do your first ownership export
Use Push44 to push your project from the AI platform to your GitHub repo. Once it's there, it's yours — the AI platform has no more claim to it.
Build an ownership habit
Export after every session. This keeps your GitHub repo as the authoritative source of your project, not the AI platform.
Pro Recommendations
Consider adding a LICENSE file to your exported GitHub repo to formally assert your copyright.
README your projects in GitHub — document what the app does, the tech stack, and how to run it.
True ownership means being able to run your code independently. Test this by cloning and running your exported code locally.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Assuming platform terms give you ownership — most AI platforms grant you license to your outputs, but the practical ownership only materializes when you have the code elsewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I legally own AI-generated code?
In most jurisdictions, AI-generated code you directed the creation of is legally yours. Push44 helps you exercise this ownership by giving you the files.
Can I sell or license my AI-generated code?
Yes, in most cases. Check your AI platform's terms of service for specifics, but generally you retain intellectual property rights to outputs you create.
What if I want to open source my AI-built app?
Export with Push44, make the GitHub repo public, add an open source license (MIT is common), and you're done. Your AI-built app is now open source.
Export and push your code in seconds.
Connect your platform, preview the visual diff, and create atomic commits on GitHub with zero server data retention.
