How to copy a git repository to gitpod

Backend Development

HI.

I am carrying out the challenges relating to the ‘Relational Database Certification’ course.

So far I have carried out the challenges locally, in order to work with greater tranquility, then copy/pasting the text files produced, one by one, onto the gitpod.

But the ‘Periodic Table Database’ challenge requires you to create a git repository.

My idea is to do the challenge locally on my PC, then copy the .git directory, along with the other files, to the gitpod.

What is the procedure to follow to copy an entire directory (e.g.: .git) to a project folder on gitpod?

I didn’t test it, but can’t you just drag and drop the local .git folder into the Gitpod workspace?

If the Gitpod workspace already has an initialized repo you can delete that first.
