1. Vect Integration allows to edit your configuration files in GitHub directly through The Vect App.
2. Any edits done through Vect app are being synced to your GitHub repository via Pull Requests.
3. Vect keeps your existing code governance by leveraging pull requests. Rest assured - Vect doesn’t deploy changes directly to your main branch. This ensures code protection.
4. When the GitHub main branch is updated, it will update Vect’s parameters to keep it in sync with the specified files and directories.

<aside> 💡 Vect doesn’t affect your engineering workflow in any way, as it leverages pull requests.
