cPanel's Git Version Control tool lets you create and manage Git repositories directly from your hosting account. This guide walks you through creating a repository and the key management options.

   - **Clone an existing repository** - the default. Paste the remote repository's address into the **Clone URL** field and the remaining fields populate automatically.
   - **Create a new repository** - disable the **Clone a Repository** toggle, then enter the path and name for your new repository.

3. Click **Create** at the bottom of the form. cPanel creates the repository and shows you the commands to connect it to a local project.

## Managing your repositories

Once created, your repository appears in the list on the Git Version Control page. Each repository offers two options:

- **Manage** - opens a management page where you can update settings, deploy changes, and view repository details.
- **History** - shows a full log of all commits and changes made to the repository.
