# Public Apps

Public Spice Apps can be forked, added as a dependency or connected to using Spice OSS Spice.ai connector.

### Making the app public

{% hint style="info" %}
The app must be connected to a public GitHub repository to be made public.\
Check out how to connect app to the repository - [connect GitHub](https://docs.spice.ai/portal/apps/connect-github).
