Cloning Project From Git Repository

Once a project is published in a Git repository, other users can clone it to their workspaces. To do this:

1. In ReadyAPI, select File > Import Project From VCS from the main menu:

2. The Import Project dialog will appear.

• If you use the remote repository:

  • In the Project Directory field, select an empty directory, to which the plugin will place the project from the repository.
  • Select the protocol (SSH or HTTPS) you use to connect to the repository and specify the connection settings:
    • For the HTTPS protocol, specify the username and password to access the repository.
    • For the SSH protocol, specify the path to your private key and the passphrase you use when generating it.
  • Click OK.

  The Git plugin will clone the repository from the default branch to your hard drive and open the project.

• If you have already cloned the repository, select Local.

  • In the Project Directory field, select the directory to which you cloned the repository.
  • Click OK.

  The Git plugin opens the project. After that, you can commit, push, and pull changes from ReadyAPI.
