Codesandbox-client: Codesandbox is not in sync with GIt Repo

[Harshu53]

🐛 bug report

I am expecting the git repo changes on codesandbox automatically but it is not happening.

Description of the problem

I have committed some code from my local computer to git and when I tried to access the codesandbox attached with the same git repo, doesn't have the updated code. It is not in sync with the code which I have uploaded from my home computer.

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I am not getting the updated code on codesandbox.

Hey @Harshu53 ,

Only the sandbox directly imported from the GitHub repo - which in your case is https://codesandbox.io/s/github/Harshu53/crown-clothing - is kept in sync with the repo, all other sandboxes forked from it - like the one you provided - are not. You can think of a forked sandbox as a git branch, it doesn't automatically sync to the branch it was created from.

You can read more about how the GitHub integration works in CodeSandbox here: https://codesandbox.io/docs/git .

@lbogdan Thanks for the information but I can't find https://codesandbox.io/s/github/Harshu53/crown-clothing into my code sandbox listing, Why so ?

[lbogdan]

Because it's technically not your sandbox, you can think of it as "owned" by GitHub, as it will change every time the repo changes.

Great! Thank you
