Published 17 January 2025
If your project folder is not already part of a Git repository, then you'll have the option to initialize a repository through Flyway Desktop. In the Version Control side panel, click Initialize repository.

After initializing your local repository, you'll be able to commit changes locally. You'll have to add a remote repository in order to push/pull changes to/from a remote repository and share changes with other team members.
After clicking Add remote repository, enter the URL for the remote repository. By default, we name the remote repository origin, which aligns with Git's defaults. Read more about how to find your remote repository URL.
Your project is now ready to use all the Git integrations.
