Import projects

Import existing Prophecy projects from external Git repositories into your workspace. This connects your Prophecy project to the repository without creating a copy of the repository.

info

You can only import projects from external Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.). Projects stored in Prophecy-managed Git cannot be imported using this method.

Import a project​

To import a project from Git:

  1. Open Create Entity from the left sidebar.

  2. Hover over the Project tile.

  3. Click Import.

  4. Connect to the Git account that hosts your project repository.

  5. Select your repository from the Repository dropdown.

    If your repository doesn't appear (common with forked repositories), paste the repository URL directly into the Repository field.

  6. Verify the Default Branch field auto-populates correctly.

  7. Keep the default root path or specify a path to the project folder within the repository.

  8. Click Continue.

  9. Configure your project settings:

    • Name: Display name for the project in Prophecy
    • Description: Optional context about the project
    • Team: The team that will own this project
    • Project type: Prophecy automatically sets the language based on the repository content (cannot be changed)
    • Provider: Where pipelines will execute

  10. Click Complete.

Import vs. clone​

Importing a project connects directly to the existing repository without creating a new copy. This means:

  • Multiple Prophecy projects can point to the same Git repository
  • Changes made in any connected project affect the shared repository
  • All projects connected to the same repository will see each other's commits

Use caution when multiple projects share a repository, as changes are not isolated between projects.
