# Import project from repository by URL **(FREE ALL)**
You can import your existing repositories by providing the Git URL. You can't import GitLab issues and merge requests
this way. Other methods provide more complete import methods.
If the repository is too large, the import can timeout.
## Prerequisites
> Requirement for Maintainer role instead of Developer role introduced in GitLab 16.0 and backported to GitLab 15.11.1 and GitLab 15.10.5.
- [Repository by URL import source](../../../administration/settings/import_and_export_settings.md#configure-allowed-import-sources)
must be enabled. If not enabled, ask your GitLab administrator to enable it. The Repository by URL import source is enabled
by default on GitLab.com.
- At least the Maintainer role on the destination group to import to.
## Import project by URL
1. On the left sidebar, at the top, select **Create new** (**{plus}**) and **New project/repository**.
1. Select **Import project**.
1. Select **Repository by URL**.
1. Enter a **Git repository URL**.
1. Complete the remaining fields.
1. Select **Create project**.
Your newly created project is displayed.
## Automate group and project import **(PREMIUM ALL)**
For information on automating user, group, and project import API calls, see
[Automate group and project import](index.md#automate-group-and-project-import).
