Prerequisites

  • A GitHub account with access to the repositories you want to import
  • The Kommit GitHub App installed on your account or organization

​
Steps

  1. Go to Import in the sidebar and select GitHub
  2. If you haven’t connected GitHub yet, click Connect your GitHub account and install the Kommit GitHub App
  3. Browse your repositories and select up to 10 to import
  4. Name your project and set the visibility (public or private)
  5. Click Start Import
Kommit will clone your repositories and analyze the code in the background. You’ll be redirected to your dashboard where you can track the import progress.

​
What gets analyzed

  • Code — Full source tree is cloned and indexed
  • Tech stack — Auto-detected from package manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, etc.)
  • Database schema — Parsed from ORM configs (Prisma, Drizzle) and SQL migrations
  • Features — Inferred from routes, components, and module structure

​
Multi-repo projects

You can select multiple repositories for a single project. Kommit will:
  1. Import the primary repository first (ranked by language and visibility)
  2. Connect additional repositories as separate nodes on your canvas
  3. Run synthesis to identify cross-repo relationships

​
FAQ

Make sure you’ve installed the Kommit GitHub App on the account or organization that owns the repositories. You can manage installations from Settings > Integrations.
Yes. The Kommit GitHub App requests read-only access to your repository contents. Your code is analyzed server-side and never stored beyond the generated spec.
Most repositories complete within 1-3 minutes. Very large repositories with extensive history may take longer.
