• Whenever you push some code, the weebhook will ping the Glitch server updating the code and refreshing the app.
• This means that you don’t need to update the project on the Glitch editor, just develop locally, commit your code and do a git push.
• If you edit the code in Glitch and the update the code in Github, the code in Glitch will be lost.
