It looks like IDX cannot import a private repo (errors). If it can and this is an existing feature I cannot find any details on it. Can someone add this to the roadmap or help me understand how to integrate my private repos?

I am pretty sure you can… It’s similar to how you would import a public repo… You would just need to add the link to the private repo then it will ask you to authentic with a code

Yeah tried that, it errored out.

is it possible to share the error? I have imported a lot of private projects in IDX.

Hi, actually I didnt add it because I cannot find the Github integration UI in IDX. Originally it was an option on the IDX homepage, (the flow that errored) but now I absolutely cannot find where or how to work with Git in IDX. Can you explain to me? Update found it on the IDX homepage under impor…

Okay, I think I got your issue. If you look into the Terminal its saying: “fatal: destination path ‘/home/user/rte’ already exists and is not an empty directory.” Which means in your IDX projects there is already a same project exist with same name as “rte” Visit https://idx.google.com/ and check…

Thanks so much for helping but there are def bugs in this flow. Firstly, this wasnt the first issue I ran into. Second I only have one project in my workspaces and its named “Recruitler”, not rte. Just deleted all projects… same bug.

This issue still exists. I am unable to import a project from Github. Can we know when this gonna be fixed? Any workaround until an official fix for this?

i just started a new project and then in the terminal gh auth login and then gh repo clone username/project

same issue as others in this thread: when cloning an existing github repo, a directory is created during the env setup, but then the clone command fails - because the directory already exists [Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 8.35.42 AM]

The exact Git clone failed error for me.
