Review and push

When you push, Fink writes your draft back to the translation files and commits them to the branch on GitHub.

Review

The Changes tab, or Review in the bottom bar, compares your draft with the branch. For every changed message you see the text before and after, per language, with a list of what changed: added translations, changed variables, new forms, deleted messages. Settings changes are listed separately.

What gets committed

Only files with changes. Translation files you didn't touch are not part of the commit.
Only the messages you changed. Fink gives the format plugin the file as it is on GitHub. The messages you didn't edit keep their exact text and formatting: key order, indentation, escapes and line endings. Your diff on GitHub shows only your edits.
Settings are written to settings.json, formatted with two-space indentation, only when you changed them in the Settings tab.
No deleted files. Deleting a file's last message keeps the file. Removing a language keeps its file too.
Empty translations are removed from the file, so your app falls back to another language instead of showing an empty string.

The commit

Fink commits through GitHub's API as you, the signed-in user. GitHub marks the commit as verified. The commit message is:

chore: update translations

Pushed via https://fink.inlang.com

Co-authored-by: Fink <hello@inlang.com>

Fink never force-pushes and never creates branches.

When the branch changed

Someone else may push to the branch while you work. Before pushing, Fink fetches the latest commit and merges it into your draft:

Changes on GitHub to messages you didn't edit are applied.
Your edits to other messages are kept.
If the same message in the same language changed on both sides, the version on GitHub wins. The card shows Updated from GitHub and Fink tells you which edit was replaced.

Fink then pushes on top of the latest commit and retries if the branch moves again.

When a push fails

"Sign in before pushing": sign in with GitHub.
"Check GitHub App access" or "GitHub rejected the commit": install the Inlang GitHub App on the repository, and check branch protection. Protected branches that require pull requests reject direct pushes. Push to another branch and open a pull request. See Branches, forks and pull requests.
"Couldn't write the … files": the format can't express something in your draft, for example an exact number other than 0 in i18next. Nothing was pushed. Fix the message and push again.
