Exporting changes to a branch

While using {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}, you may want to export your changes to a branch without launching your codespace.

This can be useful when you have hit a spending limit or have a general issue accessing your codespace.

To export your changes:

{% data reusables.codespaces.your-codespaces-procedure-step %} Or, for an individual repository, click the {% octicon "code" aria-label="The code icon" %} Code menu.

1. Click the ellipsis (...) to the right of the codespace you want to export from.
2. Select {% octicon "git-branch" aria-label="The git branch icon" %} Export changes to branch.

1. From the popover, select Create branch.
