This page includes steps for using a third-party application, so is especially vulnerable to becoming outdated. If you have issues with exporting from Lovable to GitHub, the first step is to check Lovable’s documentation.

​
Quickstart

To import a project from Lovable into Bolt:

  1. Sync your Lovable project with GitHub. Refer to Lovable’s GitHub Integration docs for guidance.
  2. Connect Bolt to GitHub, then import the project. Refer to Bolt’s GitHub integration doc for guidance.

​
Detailed guide

First, sync your Lovable project to GitHub. As of 13th May 2025, Lovable’s docs are misleading: the step to select a GitHub account or organization isn’t optional, and the following sync step is different. Follow the steps below instead:

  1. In your Lovable project, click the GitHub icon > Connect to GitHub. Lovable opens the GitHub window.
  2. Click Connect GitHub, and go through the authorization steps. Once authorized, Lovable displays a prompt to link an organization.
  3. You must do the step to link an organization, even if you’re using an individual account. Click Link by the account or organization you want to connect.
  4. Close the organization link prompt.
  5. In the GitHub window, click Transfer Project to create a repository for your Lovable project on GitHub.

Next, import the project from GitHub to Bolt.

You can import an existing repository into Bolt on the Bolt homepage:

  1. Select GitHub.
  2. If it’s your first time connecting, Bolt displays a dialog to connect your accounts. Select Log in to GitHub. A new tab opens. Follow the steps to authorize StackBlitz.
  3. Choose the repository you want to import.
  4. Select Choose this repository. Bolt loads the project. You start on the main branch.
