Import an External Git Repository

If you’ve been using a Git repository on another platform such as GitHub or Bitbucket, you can import files from the external Git repository to your project’s Git repository.

When you import an external Git repository, VB Studio creates a Git repository in the project and copies the branches, tags, and commit history to it from the external Git repository. No changes made to the external Git repository after the import succeeds are reflected in the imported Git repository.
  1. Click + Create Repository.
  2. In the New Repository dialog box, in Initial content, select Import existing repository.
  3. In the text box, enter the URL of in the external Git repository.
    If the imported Git repository is password protected, enter the repository credentials in Username and Password. Note that VB Studio doesn’t store the credentials.
  4. Click Create.

You can also import an existing Git repository to an empty project Git repository from the Git page. If the added hosted Git repository is empty, enter the Git repository’s URL in the Git page's Import existing repository section. Enter any repository credentials, if required, and click Import.
