# Connect development stores with development branches

You can use GitHub integration to create development environments for your scripts.

A single GitHub repository might be connected to multiple DataJet apps across multiple stores. Additionally, a single script might be connected to a different branch. This allows you to connect your production store scripts with *main* branch in your repository and your development store scripts with any other branch (e.g. *development*).

We will reuse the repository we created as part of the [setup](/integrations/github.md). Start by creating development branch in your GitHub repository. With two branches in your repository, the *main* branch will be connected to production Shopify store, while *development* branch can be connected to the development store.

Now you can work on any script updates in your development store. When the changes are ready to be deployed, simply merge your *development* branch to your *main* branch. The production store will be automatically updated with the latest script version.
