Why use GitHub?Keep your Rocket projects safe and accessible by pushing them to GitHub. Push your code with one click, create repositories automatically, and share projects with your team. Once pushed, you can use GitHub’s collaboration features or keep a backup of your work.
Important: GitHub integration is one-way only. Changes you make in Rocket will be pushed to GitHub, but changes made directly in GitHub won’t sync back to Rocket.
