Importing a Project From Git

When you create a project, you can optionally supply an HTTPS or SSH Git URL that points to a remote repository. The new project is a clone of that remote repository. You can commit, push and pull your code by running a console and opening a terminal .

Using SSH - If you want to use SSH to clone the repo, you will need to first add your personal Cloudera Data Science Workbench SSH key to your GitHub account.
For instructions, see Adding SSH Key to GitHub.
If you see Git commands hanging indefinitely, check with your cluster administrators to make sure that the SSH ports on the Cloudera Data Science Workbench hosts are not blocked.
