Create VCS repositories for new projects

You can create repositories for version control systems that support local repository creation, such as Git, Mercurial, or Bazaar in the following ways:

  • To create a new project, go to File > New Project, and select a version control system on the last wizard page.
  • To place a project directory under version control, go to Tools, and then select Create Repository in the submenu for a version control system.
  • To import a project that is already under version control, go to File > New Project > Project from Version Control and select the version control system that you use. Follow the instructions of the wizard to import the project.
