Import Third-party Git Projects (GitHub, etc.)

1. Import Project​

Select Import Project on the homepage

2. Fill in Information​

Enter the third-party Git project URL and project information. If importing a private repository, you'll need to enter the target platform's user token for authorization.

3. Authorization Verification​

When importing open-source projects from other platforms (like GitHub, Gitee) using GitLink, if the project is private, you cannot import it through normal means. You'll need to enter a valid token from the corresponding platform for verification.

Below are token acquisition methods for some typical open-source platforms.

Getting a GitHub Token​

  1. Log in to your GitHub account

  2. Access the settings menu under your profile picture
