Create a Git Repository

As a project owner, you can add multiple Git repositories to a project. VB Studio gives you the option to create an empty Git repository, a Git repository with a readme file, or import files from another Git repository.

You may want to create an empty repository if you plan to upload your application files to it from your computer or import files from another Git repository. Some Git clients can’t clone an empty Git repository. If this is the case with the Git client you use, you may want to create a Git repository initialized with a file.

You can create a Git repository from these pages:

  • The Project Home Project Home page's Repositories tab
  • The Git Git page, accessed from the left navigator
  • The Project Administration Project Administration : Repositories page

Before creating a Git repository, especially if it will contain large files and binaries, you should review the best practices section that examines how best to deal with these types of files. See Best Practices for Storing Large Files and Binaries.
