From Lovable to a real repo
You outgrew Lovable. Keep shipping without the rebuild.
Lovable got you a working MVP. Now your team needs a real repo, real reviews, and a stack you control. ronda edits the code you already have and ships every change as a GitHub pull request your engineers merge.
Four steps
From a Lovable project to a team workflow
- 1
Export your code from Lovable
Use Lovable's GitHub export or download the project. You get a normal Vite or Next.js codebase, the same one Lovable was editing for you.
- 2
Push it to GitHub
Create a repository, commit the exported code, and push. This is now the source of truth your team reviews against.
- 3
Connect ronda
Point ronda at the repository over GitHub. ronda detects your framework and dev command and runs your real app in an isolated sandbox.
- 4
Keep iterating with your team
Your PM, designer, or marketer describes a change in plain English. ronda opens a pull request an engineer reviews and merges. The repo stays yours.
Why this path
The migration is the easy part. Not regressing afterward is the point.
No rebuild
Your exported code is the code that ships. ronda edits it in place rather than regenerating a new app you would have to re-test from zero.
Real pull requests
Every change lands as a standard GitHub PR. Engineers review the diff before it merges, so non-technical edits do not reach production unchecked.
Your stack, your history
React, Vue, Svelte, or Astro, monorepo or single app. Git history, branches, and CI stay intact because nothing is regenerated.
Not sure your export is ready?
Run your repository through the free analyzer to see how cleanly ronda would work with it, or use the migration helper to scaffold a clean repo structure before you push.
Questions
Moving off Lovable
How do I get my code out of Lovable?
Lovable supports a GitHub export and a project download. Either gives you a standard frontend codebase, usually Vite plus React. That codebase is what you push to your own GitHub repository and connect to ronda.
Does ronda rebuild my Lovable app?
No. ronda edits the exact code you exported. There is no regeneration step, so you do not re-introduce bugs or lose work that already passed review.
Why not keep editing in Lovable?
Lovable is built for generating an app. Once a team needs code review, branches, CI, and a stack they control, the work belongs in a real repository. ronda lets non-engineers keep making changes there without learning git.
What frameworks does ronda support?
React, Vue, Svelte, and Astro apps connected over GitHub. ronda auto-detects the framework and dev command from your package.json and any Docker configuration.
What does ronda cost?
The Free plan is $0 with 1 project. The Starter plan is $9 per month with 5 projects and unlimited collaborators. Both plans are bring-your-own Anthropic key, so you pay Anthropic directly for AI usage.
