When creating a new repository, you can import code from an existing project into Stash. You can do this by first cloning the repository to your local system and then pushing an empty Stash repository.
If you have code on your local machine that is not under source control, you can put it under source control and import it into Stash. To do this:
Initialise the project by running the following commands in the terminal:
git init git add --all git commit -m "Initial Commit"
Push your files to the repository by running the following commands in the terminal (change the URL accordingly):
git remote add origin https://username@stash.atlassian.com/scm/PROJECT/repo.git git push -u origin master
You can import an existing repository into an empty project in Stash. When you do this, Stash maintains your commit history.
Checkout the repository from your existing Git host. Use the --mirror parameter to include all branches and tags:
git clone --mirror
Change the remote origin in your local repository to point to Stash (change the URL accordingly):
git remote set-url origin https://username@stash.atlassian.com/scm/PROJECT/repo.git
Then push all branches to Stash:
git push origin
