Importing a Third-Party Git Repository to Vercel

When deploying projects on Vercel, you can import code from third-party Git repositories that aren't directly connected to your primary Git provider account. This is useful when you want to deploy repositories you don't own or that are hosted on different platforms.

How to Import a Third-Party Git Repository

1. Log in to your Vercel dashboard
2. Click the "New Project" button in the top right corner of your dashboard 12
3. In the Git repository selection screen, look for the "Import Third-Party Git Repository" option at the bottom of the section 12
4. Enter the URL of the Git repository you want to import

5. Follow the configuration steps to set up your project:

   • Customize the project name
   • Select a Framework Preset (if applicable)
   • Choose the root directory of your project
   • Configure Build Output Settings
   • Set Environment Variables 12
6. Click the "Deploy" button to initiate the deployment

Benefits of Using Git with Vercel

Importing a third-party Git repository still gives you the benefits of Vercel's Git integration:

• Preview deployments for every push
• Production deployments for the most recent changes from the production branch
• Instant rollbacks when reverting changes assigned to a custom domain 123

Supported Git Providers

Vercel supports importing repositories from various Git providers, including:

• GitHub
• GitLab
• Bitbucket
• Azure DevOps Pipelines 12

If you're working with a different Git provider, you can still deploy using the Vercel CLI 12.
