Allow importing of private github repos

[DiMilan]

"Yikes! The page you requested couldn't be found." Repo is private. Pretty basic functionality, Angular + Firestore. 2 components. Did some changes however to be able to run heroku. (which also doesn't work btw) Followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bOJjAUXjhI

@DiMilan we currently only support public github repos (as we're using the public github API to suck down the projects). We're going to enable private repos soon though, so I'll circle back to this issue once that's online 👍

Hey.

If you don't support private repository then is another way of using stackblitz for a private project. I try to find a way to replace vs code.

[daniel-gwilt-software]

Will using a private GitHub repo in Stackblitz create a source code security vulnerability?

Or, will the feature include private projects of some kind? https://github.com/stackblitz/core/issues/134

Please add a provision to add a access token to access private repos. As in Octotree browser extension for github

[Xipooo]

Ugh, 10 months later and still no private repo access. I truly need this feature since it's preventing me from doing any actual work with Stackblitz.

Hi Team, Eagerly waiting to import Github private repo into stackblitz.

[Local9]

Same here, I'd love to use this but only with Private Repos...

Edit: Looks like its a pay for feature?

[daviddsingleton]

I subscribed and still can't import private repos

[Local9]

I found I had to make it public, import it, then make it private.

[nigellima]

@Local9 are you able to push code to the private repo after importing?

[ecteodoro]

The lack of this feature is preventing lots of paid customers. It should be 🔝 priority.

[tdekoekkoek]

This is the only way I would be using Stackblitz for my development. Please allow importing private repos!

[glue-eng-core]

I'm evaluating options and this is something codesandbox has figured out. Stackblitz and codepen are still lacking in this regard.

[tdekoekkoek]

I also cannot figure out how to import a github project whether private or public. The docs just say to specify the URL of the git repo, but they don't say anywhere about where to do this. The only way I see to anything about connecting a repo is once you have already create a project and then it want you to push this new repo to GitHub. How do you import and existing project?

[EricSimons]

Hey all- right now SB allows you to create private repos & sync with them, but importing private repos is still WIP. We have to refactor a lot of our importing logic for increased security but we're targeting a release this quarter (likely Oct/Nov).

Would any of y'all be down to chat sometime about your use cases/workflows for this? Want to ensure we're building the best experience possible :D cc/ @tdekoekkoek

@EricSimons I just signed up for a membership thinking I'd be able to import private repos -- is there any update on this, or any way I can get involved in helping make sure this gets built in a way that works for real use cases? Thanks!

[etavener]

Shizer. I just upgraded my membership thinking I could import my private repo (it clearly said supported Private Github accounts). Now I find out I can't import existing github repos. Mis-sold!

[simonMoisselin]

I just pay a 1 month membership, and no private repository sync is possible!

[Mearman]

I'd love to start using StackBlitx, lacking this feature is what's stopping me.

[GeoITManagement]

We too facing the same problem.. I can't make my code as Public to use Stackblitz... Need a workaround to make the Stackblitz to work on Private Repository

[amevents]

[jbratu]

Ditto.

[AKrasovski]

Access to private repo is really needed. We cannot use Stackblitz with our project for this reason. @DiMilan (wrote back in April 2018!!!) - "We're going to enable private repos soon though, so I'll circle back to this issue once that's online"

[FXschwartz]

Same here, mislead by membership saying it supported it. Canceled right after I realized it wouldn't.

Our company cannot use this platform until this feature is built and released.

[viktorasLipinskis]

if private repos is not working, than please get my money back!

[n0mer]

@EricSimons can you please share whether there are any updates regarding importing private GitHub projects for paid customers?

Or you do not want to compete with https://github.com/features/codespaces/

[iakashsrivastava]

It clearly said "Sync with Private GitHub Repos". This is clear case of Fraud/Cheating, can I PLEASE have my money back.

[EricSimons]

@iakashsrivastava is the project you're trying to sync with either React or Angular based? If so, if you click "connect repository" and then click "import an existing repository" on a base React or Ang project that will allow you to import.

[vinagreti]

Isn't this problem solved?

I've just cloned a private (angular) repo by clicking in "connect repository" and then clicking in "import an existing repository" on a fresh new stackblitz Angular project.

Thank you for your patience - This issue has been resolved with the comment above. In addition, we are launching new core technology into beta next month that should address supplemental issues so this will be closed accordingly. If this issue persists, feel free to tag me or ask to reopen this issue with screenshots of the error. Thank you! :)
