# About Git Integration & Wix CLI for Sites

Git Integration & Wix CLI for Sites is a set of tools that allows you to write, test, preview, and publish code for your Wix site using your preferred IDE. Your site code is stored in a GitHub repository, giving you version control and making collaboration easy.

## Code in your preferred IDE

Git Integration & Wix CLI for Sites allows you to connect your site to GitHub and develop using your preferred IDE. Wix sets up a repository for your project, which you can clone to your computer or cloud workspace and write code in as you would in any other non-Wix project. Read how to [set up Git integration & Wix CLI for Sites](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/git-integration-wix-cli/setting-up-git-integration-wix-cli.md).

## Test your code with the Local Editor

The [Local Editor](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/git-integration-wix-cli-for-sites/about-the-local-editor.md) allows you to test changes made to your site in real time. The code in your IDE is synced with the Local Editor so you can test your changes before committing them to your repo. You can also change your site's design in the Local Editor and sync it with your IDE.

## Preview and publish with the Wix CLI for Sites

The [Wix CLI for Sites](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/git-integration-wix-cli-for-sites/wix-cli-for-sites-commands.md) is a tool that allows you to work with your site locally from the terminal. You can use it to build a preview version of your site and publish it. You can also use the CLI to install [npm packages](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/coding-with-velo/packages/about-npm-packages.md) to your site.

## Work with multiple collaborators at once

Git Integration & Wix CLI for Sites extends Wix Studio's [concurrent editing](https://support.wix.com/en/article/studio-editor-collaborating-on-a-site) capabilities. Invite other developers as collaborators on your [site](https://support.wix.com/en/article/inviting-people-to-contribute-to-your-site) and your [GitHub repo](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/inviting-collaborators-to-a-personal-repository). Multiple developers can work on a site's code at once.

## Version control

With Git integration, every change to your site's code is tracked in your GitHub repository, giving you a clear history of edits and the ability to revert to previous versions when needed. This makes it easy to manage updates, resolve conflicts, and maintain a stable development workflow—even when working with multiple collaborators.
