What is Replit?

Replit runs a complete development environment in the browser: an editor, a terminal, a package manager and hosting, with no local setup at all. Its agent builds and modifies applications from a description, and the same workspace can host the running app on a public URL, which makes the loop from idea to something shareable unusually short. Multiplayer editing means a colleague can join the same workspace, and templates cover common languages and stacks. It is popular for teaching, prototyping and small internal tools, where environment setup is the main cost being removed.

FAQ

Can I import an existing project?

Yes, projects can be imported from a Git repository, though very large codebases may hit the resource limits of the hosted environment. It suits moderate projects better than monorepos.

Is my code private on the free plan?

Free-tier projects are typically public, so anything confidential needs a paid plan. Check the current terms before putting client work or credentials into a free workspace.

What happens to a deployed app?

Hosting is part of the platform, with always-on deployments on paid tiers. Because the app runs on Replit's infrastructure, moving elsewhere means exporting the code and redeploying it.
