Match your export cadence to your development stage: daily during active building, weekly during maintenance, and once before archiving a finished project.
📖 Introduction
There's no single right answer, but there is a clear framework based on how actively you're developing your AI-built app.
The Problem with Walled Gardens
Exporting too rarely risks losing significant work if the platform has an outage or you accidentally break something. Exporting too often for a stable project just adds noise to your GitHub history.
The Push44 Solution
Match your export cadence to your development stage: daily during active building, weekly during maintenance, and once before archiving a finished project.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
4 stepsActive development: after every session
If you're actively prompting and iterating with your AI platform, export after each session so you never lose more than one session's worth of work.
Maintenance mode: weekly
Once your app is stable and you're only making occasional tweaks, a weekly export is enough to stay protected without cluttering your commit history.
Before major platform changes: always
If the platform announces a migration, pricing change, or new version, export immediately regardless of your normal cadence.
Archived projects: one final export
When you're done with a project, do one last thorough export, verify it, then you can safely stop paying attention to the platform version.
Pro Recommendations
Set a recurring calendar reminder if you tend to forget — consistency matters more than frequency.
Treat any 'this changes soon' announcement from a platform as an immediate trigger to export.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Waiting until something breaks to export for the first time.
Exporting once and assuming that's enough for an actively evolving project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will frequent exports create too many GitHub commits?
No — this is exactly what git is designed for. Frequent, small commits give you a more useful history than infrequent, large ones.
Should I export even if nothing seems to have changed?
It doesn't hurt, but it's not necessary — Push44's diff view will simply show no changes if nothing was modified since your last export.
