Hey @VAggrippino If you go to this link: https://codesandbox.io/s/ And import your project, this should solve the issue! |

How do I get to the code imported from GitHub that stays up to date with my latest commits?
I'm relatively new to CodeSandbox and I'd like to start using it more. I imported a project from GitHub and it was automatically forked.
I want to make changes to my code locally, push them to the repo on GitHub, and share the CodeSandbox link to my code and demo, but I can't easily get the link to the page that automatically updates when I update the repository.
For example, https://github.com/VAggrippino/text-gradient-and-fill
I imported it to CodeSandbox, but the button said Import and Fork. I didn't intend to fork it, but it brought me to a page with a generated URL that didn't update when I updated the repository. I deleted that...
Web searches transpired...
So I learned that the only CodeSandbox URLs that'll be updated when I make commits have
/s/github
in them and I deduced that it will always be/s/github/vaggrippino/<project-name>
, but I don't see anywhere to get that URL.My home page / dashboard shows a template for the project I imported and two other Recently Used Templates (which I haven't used) and everything else says:
Just to be clear, that's My Drafts, All Sandboxes, Templates, Repositories, and Recently Modified.
The item on the Home page has a three-dot menu with the following options.
None of those options open the
/s/github
page, place the link to it in my clipboard, or open or link to a page that contains the latest changes from GitHub.Here's the functionality I was looking for:
Is there any way to take advantage of this functionality without just figuring out the right URL and manually typing it?
Thank you.
Update:

This is what I get when I click on Open Template or Open Template in New Tab. In the following screenshot, CodeSandbox is the window on the left and GitHub is the window on the right.
