UI Design
Figma Make Local Code is one of the biggest shifts in how designers work with production code. Instead of handing designs to engineering, designers can now edit real production code directly inside Figma, visually update React applications, connect to GitHub repositories, create pull requests, and collaborate with engineers using the same production codebase.
In this complete Figma Make Local Code tutorial, I walk through the entire workflow—from joining the beta and cloning your first repository to visually editing production React code, working with enterprise design systems, using Claude inside Figma Make, managing Git branches, creating pull requests, and understanding where Local Code fits into modern AI-native design workflows. If you've been searching for Figma Local Code, Figma Make GitHub, Figma Make React, editing production code in Figma, or how designers can work directly with production code, this guide is built for you.
Whether you're a UX Designer, UI Designer, Product Designer, Design System Designer, Design Engineer, or Frontend Engineer, you'll learn how Figma Make Local Code bridges the gap between design and engineering by allowing designers to work directly with real production code instead of rebuilding prototypes from scratch.
