✅ Quick Summary

Push44 creates a git commit every time you export. After a few sessions, your GitHub repo contains a timeline of your project's evolution — each commit represents one Export session. You can diff commits, roll back to any point, or branch off to try different directions.

The Problem

Base44's editor shows your current code but provides no history of previous versions. If an AI generation goes wrong and breaks your app, or if you accidentally delete a component, there's no undo beyond the browser's undo button. For serious projects, this is a critical gap.

How Push44 Solves It

Push44 creates a git commit every time you export. After a few sessions, your GitHub repo contains a timeline of your project's evolution — each commit represents one Export session. You can diff commits, roll back to any point, or branch off to try different directions.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Set up your first export

Complete your first Base44 export to GitHub via Push44 (see the Base44 GitHub Integration guide). This creates your initial commit — the baseline version of your project.

2

Establish an export habit

After each meaningful development session in Base44 (adding a feature, fixing a bug, making design changes), open Push44 and run another export. Think of it like saving a checkpoint.

💡 Pro Tip
Write descriptive commit-like messages in the Push44 session — future you will thank you.
3

View your history on GitHub

Open your GitHub repo and click 'Commits'. You'll see a timeline of all your Base44 exports. Each entry shows the date, which files changed, and how many lines were added or removed.

4

Compare versions

Click any two commits on GitHub to see a diff — green lines are additions, red lines are deletions. This lets you understand exactly what the AI changed between sessions.

5

Roll back to a previous version

If a change broke something, find the last good commit in GitHub's history, copy the commit SHA, and use 'git checkout <sha> -- .' locally to restore that version's files. Or use GitHub's 'Revert' button directly in the UI.

Pro Tips

  • Export before and after every major AI generation so you have both versions in history.
  • Use GitHub branches for experimental features — 'main' for stable, 'experiment-1' for risky changes.
  • GitHub's blame view shows you which commit introduced each line of code.
  • Set up GitHub repository topics like 'base44' and 'ai-generated' to organize your projects.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️ Watch Out For
  • Waiting too long between exports — daily exports give you much finer-grained history.
  • Pushing all changes with a generic message — try to note what AI generation you ran.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I roll back a Base44 project to an older version?
Yes, via GitHub. Each Push44 export creates a commit. You can check out any previous commit to see that version of your code, or revert changes from GitHub's web interface.
Does version control slow down my Base44 development?
No. You only run Push44 when you want to create a checkpoint — it doesn't integrate into Base44's editor. Your development speed is unchanged.
Can multiple people track version history for the same Base44 project?
Yes. Any team member with the GitHub repo link and Push44 can export to the same repo, creating a shared history of the project's evolution.
