If you have a project already created on your computer(Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc.) and want to initialize it as a Diversion repository, follow the next steps:

1

Open the Diversion Desktop App and navigate to the main page.

Click on the “New Repository” button.

2

Select the “Create from Existing Folder” option.

In the “Selected Path” prompt, navigate to the root directory that contains the project you want Diversion to create a repository from.

Click on “Create” and Diversion will start tracking this directory as well as creating a cloud repository for you. Diversion will start syncing(uploading) the files and directories.

3

Your repository should now be listed as part of your cloned repositories, meaning it exists in your local machine as well as in the cloud.
