> GitHub Import: Import GitHub repositories for dbt™ projects into Paradime. Enhance project management and collaboration.

<Warning>
  You must use the `git@...` or `ssh:...` version of your git URL, not the `https://...` version. Paradime uses the SSH protocol to clone repositories, so Paradime will be unable to clone repos supplied with the HTTP protocol.
</Warning>

<Check>
  We advise creating a service account user in your GitHub account like **`paradime.github.maintainer@yourcompany.com`** with write access to the repository and let this user own the deploy key.
</Check>

To add a deploy key to a GitHub account, navigate to the Deploy keys tab of the settings page in your GitHub repository.

After supplying a name for the deploy key and pasting in your deploy key (generated by Paradime), be sure to check the *"Allow write access"* checkbox. After adding this key, Paradime will be able to read and write files in your dbt™️ project.
