Export your Squarespace HTML code to GitHub

From converted site to reviewed source

1. 01

   Select the export you intend to keep

   Convert your published Squarespace site first. List public blog articles and galleries before the capture. Member-only content cannot be fetched as a public page, and a gallery's visible output is separate from its editor and content database. Select current HTML with saved site changes when you want the current static version. Check the preview and download a backup before handing off the files.

2. 02

   Prepare a repository you control

   Create a dedicated GitHub repository with an initial commit, such as a README. In FNJ's Push to GitHub action, enter owner/repository and a fine-grained token with Contents: Read and write access to that repository. Enter the token directly in FNJ, not in an agent conversation.

3. 03

   Review the export commit

   Open the fnj-export branch and the fnj-site/ folder. Review article paths, gallery assets and external scheduling links in the export commit before merging. Review additions, changes and removed files before opening a pull request. FNJ's export keeps the default branch unchanged.

4. 04

   Choose how future changes reach the repository

   Use your code editor for repository changes. When exporting another version from FNJ, review the refreshed export branch before merging again; changes made outside FNJ may need manual reconciliation. Keep related styles and assets in the same change so previews are reproducible.

5. 05

   Configure hosting separately

   To publish the static site, deploy the folder containing index.html through your chosen host. If you configure Cloudflare Git integration, select the repository branch and directory that contain the reviewed export. Pushing a repository by itself does not configure that hosting.

Check the files in your export branch

FNJ writes under fnj-site/ on fnj-export. The static export should include index.html and its referenced page and asset files. File names and asset folders vary by capture; inspect the actual export rather than creating placeholder files.

fnj-export branch
└── fnj-site/
    ├── index.html
    ├── captured page files
    └── referenced styles and assets

If fnj-site/ already belongs to another project, use a separate repository. A later FNJ export refreshes its managed folder, so review your edits before using the export action again.

Squarespace to GitHub: questions

Does exporting Squarespace code to GitHub make the website live?

A push stores code in a repository. Publishing needs a separately configured host or deployment workflow. FNJ's export branch does not automatically enable GitHub Pages or connect Cloudflare Git integration.

Which branch and folder does FNJ use?

FNJ writes to the fnj-export branch under fnj-site/ and does not change the default branch. Review the commit before merging. Keep a dedicated repository for the exported site when practical.

Will later changes in Squarespace automatically sync to GitHub?

No. Review and export a new version when you want an update. Store gallery and article files with their accessible media. Note any remaining Squarespace asset URLs and decide how future content will be published. Adding a commit does not sync later posts from Squarespace or recreate its template editor.

Can my connected MCP agent push these files for me?

FNJ MCP can identify the site but cannot itself export files or push to GitHub. An agent needs authorized browser access to FNJ's GitHub action, or a downloaded ZIP and its own authorized GitHub connection. Enter credentials directly in the relevant service, never in the prompt.

Continue with the right setup

Converting requires a signed-in FNJ account and current conversion access. Review FNJ pricing for purchase terms. For help using your own agent, follow the deployment guide and prompt library.
