# pushToBranch

> Push code changes to a branch.

## Method signature

```typescript theme={"dark"}
async pushToBranch(branch?: string): Promise<void>
```

## Description

Pushes the current code changes from the sandbox environment to a specified Git branch. This method is useful when you want to save your generated code changes to a branch without creating a pull request.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="branch" type="string" optional>
  The name of the branch to push changes to. If not provided, pushes to the current active branch or the default branch configured in the agent.
</ParamField>

## Return value

Returns a `Promise<void>` that resolves when the push operation completes successfully.

## Usage example

```typescript theme={"dark"}
import { VibeKit } from "vibekit";

const vibekit = new VibeKit({
  agent: {
    type: "claude",
    model: {
      name: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
      provider: "anthropic",
      apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
    },
  },
  github: {
    token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
    repository: "https://github.com/your-org/your-repo",
  },
  environment: {
    e2b: {
      apiKey: process.env.E2B_API_KEY,
    },
  },
  sessionId: "unique-session-id",
});

// Generate some code changes
await vibekit.generateCode({
  prompt: "Add a new React component for user profiles",
  mode: "code",
  branch: "feature/user-profiles",
});

// Or push to the current/default branch
await vibekit.pushToBranch();
```

## Notes

* This method requires that the VibeKit instance is configured with GitHub credentials
* The branch must exist in the repository, or the agent must have permissions to create it
* Changes are pushed directly without creating a pull request - use `createPullRequest()` if you want to create a PR instead
* This operation is available for both Codex and Claude agents
