If you’re familiar with git and GitHub, we support GitHub repos (even for blocks)! Right now this is a beta-only feature, so you’ll need to go to makecode.microbit.org/beta to use it.

Inside the blocks editor there is a GitHub button at the bottom of the screen (the one with the cat icon). If you click on that you can turn the current project into a new repo. You can also import existing repos from the homescreen. Here’s a GIF of me doing both of those things:

Thanks, I did not even notice that import button, thats all I need.
