How this works
Safeguard your custom code injections across Squarespace sites by automatically backing them up to a GitHub repository, ensuring you never lose vital snippets that enhance your site's functionality and design. This workflow suits developers, designers, and site managers who rely on Squarespace for client projects or personal portfolios and need a reliable way to version-control their code without manual exports. The key step involves fetching injection data via HTTP requests from Squarespace, then committing it directly to GitHub for secure storage and easy retrieval.
Use this workflow for routine backups of code injections in multi-site setups, especially when triggered by events like site updates, to maintain an audit trail of changes. Avoid it for one-off sites without custom code or if you prefer native Squarespace exports for simple needs. Common variations include scheduling daily runs for automated upkeep or adding filters to target specific injection types, such as header or footer scripts.
