# Import an existing repo

Already have a project on GitHub? Bring it into GenVibe and keep building on it with AI — no need to start from scratch.

## Clone a Git repo

1. On the GenVibe home screen, click **"Clone a Git Repo"** below the prompt box.
2. Paste the repository URL.
3. GenVibe pulls the project into the workbench, installs dependencies, and runs it in the live preview.

## Then build as usual

Once imported, it works like any GenVibe project — describe changes in chat, edit files directly, preview live, and deploy or export when ready.

> Add a dark mode toggle to the header.

> Refactor the dashboard into smaller components.

## Notes

* Works best with standard web projects (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) that run in the WebContainer sandbox.
* Large repos take a little longer to clone and install.
* Private repos require connecting your [GitHub account](/integrations/github.md) so GenVibe can access them.
