Import Github repository to PyCharm

You don't even need to move it. Simply select "Open directory" and point to the cloned repository.

You can perform a GitHub checkout directly from PyCharm (VCS | Checkout from Version Control | GitHub), but it will have the same effect: it will ask you where to clone the repository, clone it locally, and then open it as a project.


I want to show 2-step solution for PyCharm 2020

1- From the welcome screen, select Get from version control

Thats it!


Use the menu, if you don't know how to get to the welcome screen:

VCS -> Get from Version Control...
