How to let a client edit a site you built with Lovable
Sync the Lovable project to GitHub, host the site from that repository, and connect the repository to Siteshare. Your client edits the real site at /edit, without a seat in your Lovable workspace or your credits. Host it from GitHub rather than on lovable.app: there, later changes go live only after someone presses Publish in Lovable.
- 01
Connect the project to GitHub
In Lovable, connect the project to GitHub. The sync goes both ways on one branch, by default main.
- 02
Host the site from the repository
Connect the repository to a host that publishes from main, such as Cloudflare. Then a change your client publishes goes live without a step in Lovable.
- 03
Connect the repository to Siteshare
Run npx siteshare connect in a clone of the repository, or open Add a site in Siteshare, install the GitHub App on that repository, and add the site.
- 04
Invite your client
Invite them with their email address and choose their level. Anything above it waits for your approval.
- 05
Keep building in Lovable
Your client's published changes are commits on main, so they sync back into your Lovable project.
Two places to edit, one repository
Lovable keeps the project and GitHub in sync. Siteshare works on the same repository: your client’s drafts stay on their own branch, and only Publish writes to main, as one commit after a build on a clean copy. That commit syncs back into Lovable like any other.
Questions
Why not invite my client into Lovable?
A collaborator gets the whole builder and uses your workspace's credits. Siteshare gives them only the site, with drafts, limits per client and your approval above them.
Can I keep the site on lovable.app?
You can, but then a change your client publishes syncs into Lovable and goes live only after you press Publish there. Lovable says later changes are not pushed live automatically.
Does Siteshare run a Lovable site?
Yes. A Lovable project is React with Vite, one of the stacks Siteshare runs. It builds it once when you add the site, so you see straight away that it works.
