Hi, I hit a wall on Convex and had to edit files locally, but now when I use the instruction to sync to github and then use the listener, the files don't update. I still se ethe old website.
Anybody know how I can get my github syncing with Convex? Thanks

I've been through the docs, the CLI seems to sync but nothing is being updated online. Source files are still local/github and not in the Chef website.

Hey @radiant thorn, are you trying to sync your GitHub repo with an app in Chef? If it's what you're trying to do, we unfortunately don't support that feature at the moment. My recommendation would be to use Cursor or Claude Code with the Convex Cursor rules (https://docs.convex.dev/ai/using-cursor) instead

Hey, I downloaded the files and edited locally. Then tried to sync them again with CLI and it doesn’t show errors but doesn’t update at all. Maybe I’ve messed something up

In any case, how can I get my files back to Chef if not GitHub and I’m unable to deploy using the CLI?

There isn’t an option to automatically import your project, but you can edit manually your files on Chef so that they match your local version
What issue are you running into?

The issue that caused me to have to download the files was that Chef refused to change the nav bar button style and it added loads of random extras when I didn’t ask for them. I started to get lost with it and actually left it alone for months.
Today I thought I’d try and finish the project and I’d made edits locally. Tried to deploy it thinking that would sync back to Chef. The logs in the dev side show that it’s talking so I assumed it should’ve taken my files.
Going through all of those new edits and manually doing things will take too long. Should I just admit defeat here and move on?
I can’t understand why Convex wouldn’t allow Github syncing. That’s really silly

Could you try to copy and paste the contents of all your files in Chef?
There is no fundamental reason why we don't allow syncing with GitHub, it's just a matter of prioritization for us

Fair enough. There are a lot of new updates and it would be too time consuming for me to do. I will have to look into alternative options but thanks for coming back to me. Add me to your list of "Wen GitHub" please. Up until the point of refusal to edit 1 button, I actually had a really great experience with Chef.
