Importing an existing repo from Git can get you quickly up and running with Diversion. You can also enable bi-directional sync between your Git repo and Diversion, so that changes made in either place are reflected in the other. This is a great way to take Diversion for a test drive with no commitment.

To import a repo using the Web UI, follow these steps:

1

Enable Diversion Sync

Go to the Diversion Sync GitHub App page and follow the instructions to install it.

2

Go to your dashboard

It’s here.

3

Click the 'Import Git Repository' button

4

You'll be prompted to choose your import options

Choose whether you want to import your entire repo and keep all of its history, or just the latest commit from a specific branch.

If you choose to Import all branches with history, you’ll have the option to Enable continuous bi-directional sync.

Note

If you need bi-directional sync, please contact us at support@diversion.dev.

Enter the url for the repo you want to import

6

Click the 'Import' button

7

Wait for the import to complete

This happens in the background, and depending on the size of your Git repo can take a few minutes. You will receive an email when the import is complete.
