🫶 Import to repositories

You can utilize a local Git repository as a workspace for maintaining and iterating on your components.

Installation and Initialization:

1. Install the Bit CLI on your system:

   npx @teambit/bvm install
   Copied

2. Initialize a new Bit workspace within your repository, or create a new one:

   bit init                  # initialize Bit within your repository
   bit new react my-project  # create a new repository
   Copied

3. Import any of your Bit Cloud components into the repository:

   bit import COMPONENT
   Copied

This creates a hard copy of the component in your repository, enabling modifications while retaining access to Bit workflow commands like bit start and bit create, similar to a Cloud Workspace.

For an optimal development experience with Bit components, we recommend configuring your VS Code environment following this guide. This setup grants you access to the same Dev-experience and features available in Cloud Workspaces.

To integrate your repository with your automation system, refer to the following resources:

• GitHub Actions
• Azure DevOps
• GitLab CI
• Jenkins
• Other (Bash Scripts)
