Overview ======== If you have an existing repository, you can observe or import it into Diffusion. Observing a repository creates a read-only copy in Phabricator that is kept up to date by continuously importing new changes. Importing a repository creates a read-write copy. This document is a quick guide to getting started. For an overview of Diffusion, see @{article:Diffusion User Guide}. For a more detailed guide about managing repositories and URIs in Diffusion, see @{article:Diffusion User Guide: URIs}. Observing Repositories ====================== To observe an existing repository: - Create a repository in Diffusion, but do not activate it yet. - Add the URI for the existing repository you wish to observe in the **URIs** section, in **Observe** mode. - Activate the repository in Diffusion. This creates a read-only copy of the repository in Phabricator. Phabricator will keep its copy in sync with the remote by periodically polling the remote for changes. For more details, see @{article:Diffusion User Guide: URIs}. Importing Repositories ====================== There are two primary ways to import an existing repository: **Observe First**: In Git or Mercurial, you can observe the repository first. -Once the import completes, disable the **Observe** URI to automatically convert -it into a hosted repository. +Once the import completes, change the "I/O Type" on the **Observe** URI to +"No I/O" mode to automatically convert it into a hosted repository. **Push to Empty Repository**: Create an activate an empty repository, then push all of your changes to the empty repository. In Git and Mercurial, you can do this with `git push` or `hg push`. In Subversion, you can do this with `svnsync`. For more details, see @{article:Diffusion User Guide: URIs}.
