No option to import from github

Question:
I’m trying to import code from github. I clicked on Create Repl and I believe there should be an import from github option on the top right of the pop-up. However, this option is not there? Is there a way to fix this?

True, the option has vanished …

Yea, seems to be gone, even forcefully creating a Repl here seems to lead to a 404 page.

Interestingly, I also found a hidden option to create a Repl using Glitch (https://replit.com/glitch).

For now, the only way to import from Github is to create a Repl and opening a Git tab and import the files from there.

It’s never been hidden, just not as publicized.

You know anything about GitHub? Makes no send for them to remove this.

They seem to be updating the UI, they probably forgot to add the Import from Github button.

Let’s see … repl in in full flux lately. Finger crossed we get more positive decision after a better egress limit than expected

I was in the discord server for replit devs and basically it’s been temp disabled so you can try just manually git cloning

Hmm, I still have the option to do that. Maybe it’s back?


and https://replit.com/github but it redirects to this link: https://replit.com/new?tab=github

Which you can do in the Shell section of all repls.

git clone https://github.com/user/example.git

It creates a folder with everything inside.

They re-added back the option to import from Github. So it should be working as expected now.
