Project settings

The short version

Project settings let you manage all the important details of your Lovable app, like its name, web address, and how it works with other tools. You can find these settings in various places within the Lovable editor or dashboard.

Anyone building an app in Lovable needs this to customize their project's behavior and appearance.

Do this, in order

  1. 1

    Open your project's settings.

    This is the central place to manage all aspects of your project. You can do this by clicking the '+' button next to the chat input and choosing 'Project → Settings', or by selecting 'More' in the project toolbar then 'Settings', or by clicking your project's name at the top of the editor and choosing 'Project settings', or by pressing Cmd+. (Mac) or Ctrl+. (Windows/Linux).

  2. 2

    Navigate through the tabs (General, Git, Domains, Knowledge, Skills) to find the specific setting you want to change.

    Settings are organized into different categories to make them easier to find. For example, 'General' has basic info, 'Git' is for code connections, and 'Domains' is for your website address.

  3. 3

    Adjust the desired setting, such as renaming your project, changing its web address, connecting to GitHub, or setting up a custom domain.

    Each setting controls a specific feature or aspect of your project, allowing you to tailor it to your needs.

  4. 4

    For permanent actions like deleting a project, carefully follow the confirmation steps.

    Some actions, like deleting a project, are irreversible, so Lovable requires extra confirmation to prevent accidental data loss.

Paste this into your project

I need to change my project's settings. Can you help me rename my project to 'My Awesome App' and connect it to my GitHub repository?

Words decoded

Subdomain
The part of a web address that comes before the main domain, like 'my-app' in 'my-app.lovable.app'.
Git
A system that helps you keep track of changes to your code and work with others. Lovable can connect to services like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
Workspace
A shared area where you and your team can organize and collaborate on multiple Lovable projects.
Custom Domain
Your own personalized web address, like 'mycompany.com', instead of the default 'lovable.app' address.
Template
A pre-made project that you can use as a starting point for new projects, saving you time.
Design System
A collection of reusable components and guidelines that ensure a consistent look and feel across all your apps.
Command Palette
A quick search bar that lets you find and open specific settings or features by typing their name.

Where people get stuck

  • Deleting a project is permanent and cannot be undone; always download your code or remix the project first if you might need it later.
  • Renaming a project only changes its display name, not its published web address (URL subdomain). You must change the URL subdomain separately.
  • Changing the URL subdomain will break old links to your published app; users will need the new address.
  • Access control (who can see or edit your project) is managed in the 'Share' menu, not directly in Project settings.
  • Viewing or editing your app's source code is done in the 'Code' tab in the project toolbar, not in Project settings.
