You can import an existing repository to continue developing your project. We support importing from GitHub or self-hosted GitLab. This article demonstrates how to import a repository, using GitHub as an example.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Grant admin access to the repository from your GitHub account (including GitHub organizations).
  2. Navigate to Settings → </> Code Source, and select GitHub (Connect GitHub Repository).
  3. Log in with your GitHub account and install the Jitera app on your GitHub account.
  4. Authorize the repository you want to import.
  5. Select the repository to import from your GitHub account's repository list, then choose the repository type and the branch to import.

💡 You can import separate frontend and backend repositories for each project, or import a single repository (monorepo) that contains both frontend and backend.

  1. Click the "Import Repository" button to start the import.
  2. After importing the repository, continue developing your application using chat or the IDE plugin.
