Getting access after purchase — every step, every path

3–5 minutes total · works even if you have never used git · support: 1anfibi@gmail.com

Step 1 — Open your purchase page

  1. Find the Polar receipt email. Click “View order / Access your purchase.”
  2. No email? Go to polar.sh/purchases and sign in with the same email you paid with (it sends a login code — no password needed).

Step 2 — Connect GitHub (this triggers your repo invite)

  1. On the purchase page, under benefits, click “Connect GitHub.”
  2. Your browser opens GitHub. Check the username in the top-right corner — that account will receive access. Wrong account? Avatar → Sign out, sign in with the right one, retry.
  3. Click Authorize. Polar instantly invites that account to the private repo.
No GitHub account at all? Creating one takes 2 minutes at github.com/signup — the free plan is fine. Or email us and we will send a ZIP instead.

Step 3 — Accept the invitation

  1. GitHub emails you: “You have been invited to collaborate on 247pro/appfactory.” Click View invitation → Accept.
  2. No email after 2 minutes? Open github.com/247pro/appfactory/invitations directly — the accept button is there.

Step 4 — Get the code (pick ONE path)

🟢 Path A — no tools needed (browser ZIP)

On the repo page click the green Code button → Download ZIP. Unzip it anywhere. Skip to Step 5.

🔵 Path B — GitHub CLI (best for updates)

$ gh auth login   # once, if you have not already
$ gh repo clone 247pro/appfactory

No gh? brew install gh (macOS) or cli.github.com.

🟣 Path C — GitHub Desktop (visual)

Install GitHub Desktop, sign in, then on the repo page: Code → Open with GitHub Desktop. Updates later = one Pull click.

Why not plain git clone https://…? Private repos over HTTPS need a personal access token — GitHub no longer accepts passwords. Paths A–C avoid that entirely. (If you already use PAT/SSH, plain git works fine.)

Step 5 — Install into Claude Code

$ cd appfactory
$ ./install.sh

Windows: open any Claude Code session and run these two commands instead:

/plugin marketplace add C:\path\to\appfactory
/plugin install appfactory@appfactory

Step 6 — Run it

➜ /appfactory

Open any project (or an empty folder) in Claude Code, type the command, answer the 7 intake questions once. The factory takes it from there, gate by gate.

Updates (lifetime)

Path B/C: git pull (or the Pull button), then /plugin update appfactory@appfactory. Path A: re-download the ZIP, replace the folder, run ./install.sh again. The factory also tells you in-session when an update is waiting; want release notes by email? Repo page → Watch → Custom → Releases.
