Create a Git-based Project

Project owners can set a default Git branch in project settings. The selected Git branch auto-fills across the project and can be changed anytime.

Note
 Domino supports connecting to Git servers through HTTPS and SSH for both public and private repositories. When you create Git credentials, it is stored in your Domino account and is available to use when you create a Git-based project.

To create a Git-based project:

  1. In the navigation pane, click Develop > Projects and then click Create Project.

  2. In the Create Project window, enter a name for your project.

  3. Set your project’s Visibility.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Under Hosting provider, select the Git Service Provider currently hosting the repository you want to import. This is the target repository.

  6. Under Credentials, select your relevant credentials.
    If no credentials are listed yet, click + Add credentials then follow the steps to add your credentials authorized to access the target repository. This will automatically add your credentials to your Domino account.

  7. Add the Git respository URL:

    • If you are using SSH credentials: Add the Git repository URL.

    • If you are using PAT credentials: Select Create new repository, Choose a repository, or Input URL then add the Git repository URL.

  8. Click Create Project.

Important

If the repository you use to store your code contains files that exceed 2 GB, Domino creates your Git-based project. If it fails at workspace setup, consider using a Domino File System project.

Use the following tool to check the total size of a Git repository and the size of individual files in the repository: git sizer.
