Switch to Buildful if

Questions, answered.
Can I use Buildful with a Replit project?
If the project's code is in a GitHub repo, Buildful can work on that repo and open pull requests against it.
Does Buildful host my app?
No. Buildful changes the code in your repo and tests it in a sandbox. Your app keeps running wherever you host it today.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Buildful runs every task in a private cloud sandbox. You need a browser and a GitHub repo.
What happens to my repo?
Buildful works on a new branch and opens a pull request. Nothing reaches your main branch until you review the change and merge it.
