Import your GitHub repository

⏰ Estimated time: 2 minutes

You can import your GitHub repositories and turn them into Replit Apps to run, test, and deploy your code.

Import your GitHub repository using one of the following methods:

• Deep linking: add a public GitHub repository to a Replit URL to start the import
• Guided import: Enter the repository details from the Replit home screen

Log into Replit and follow the steps in one of the import methods in the following sections.

​

Deep linking

Deep linking works instantly with public repositories. Combine the Replit import URL with your GitHub repository URL to start the import process.

Guided import

Guided import steps you through the process of selecting a repository to import and supports public and private repositories.
