You always own your code. Fabricate generates a standard React and TypeScript project that runs on Cloudflare Workers — there’s no proprietary format and no lock-in.
Push to a New GitHub Repository
Send your project’s code to a new GitHub repository in your account. Fabricate pushes your code and its commit history to the repository’smain branch.
The push is one-way: commits made on GitHub are not pulled back into Fabricate. See Push to GitHub for the details.
Download as a Zip
Download the entire project as a zip file. In the Code view, open File actions and choose Download All (ZIP). You get the full codebase — frontend, backend, and configuration — ready to open in your own editor or move wherever you like.Download vs. Push to GitHub
Both options give you your code. Neither one keeps Fabricate and your copy in sync.You Own Your Code
Exporting isn’t a special escape hatch — it’s a core part of how Fabricate works:- Standard stack — React 19 + TypeScript on the frontend with plain CSS, and a Cloudflare Durable Object on Cloudflare Workers on the backend.
- No lock-in — the exported project is plain code you can read, modify, and run with your own setup.
- Yours to keep — whether you export once or never, the code belongs to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does exporting stop me from building in Fabricate?
Does exporting stop me from building in Fabricate?
No. You can keep prompting and building in Fabricate after an export. Exporting just produces a copy of your code.
Should I download or push to GitHub?
Should I download or push to GitHub?
Download when you want a quick copy. Push to GitHub when you want your code and its history in a repository. Either way, changes you make outside Fabricate aren’t brought back into your project.
Can I run the exported app on my own?
Can I run the exported app on my own?
Yes, with some setup. The code is standard TypeScript and React, but it’s written to run on Fabricate’s Cloudflare hosting, where your server runs as a single Durable Object and Fabricate bundles the app when it deploys. To run it yourself, you’ll need to add your own build step and Cloudflare Workers configuration.
