Hello mendax1234,

Since you are already using GitHub for your project the option which will fit your needs best is the file-based project type.

For quick reference, the live project type allows for direct translation of your website or app by using a JavaScript snippet without using files. The native project type, through the use of the appropriate SDK, allows for pushing and pulling your content directly to Transifex without the need for a file.

You can find more information about the other project types below:

Native: [Introduction to Transifex Native](https://developers.transifex.com/docs/native)  
Live: [Introduction to Translating Websites with… | Transifex Documentation](https://docs.transifex.com/live/introduction)

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,  
Antonis
