The cloud sandbox is powerful but not permanent: environments reset between sessions. Connect GitHub access and agents submit completed work to your repository as commits, branches, and pull requests, even while you're offline.
Work saved on the chat always persists, but the files live in the environment. GitHub is the bridge between the two: the durable home for everything your agents finish.
Pair it with the local bridge and you get the full loop: cloud work lands in your repo, local work lands on your disk, and you review both in one place.
