Creating a New Project from Git

Git is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.

 

Zend Studio allows you to create a new PHP project by importing an existing GitHub project.

 

 

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To create a new Git project in Zend Studio:

  1. Install the Git plugin.
    For further information on installing plugins in Zend Studio, see Customizing Zend Studio Using the Welcome Page.

  2. Go to File | New | Project.
    -OR-
    In the PHP Explorer View, right-click and select New | Project.
    The New Project - Select a wizard dialog is displayed.

You may select a different server by clicking on the Host dropdown menu and clicking on New Server.
