# Import from GitHub

> Create an Ardor service from an existing GitHub repository.

**Use this when:** You already have code on GitHub and want to deploy it through Ardor.

<Tip>
  **Cerebrum can import your repo for you.** Say "create a service from my GitHub repo" or point Cerebrum to the project you want to deploy, and it will guide the setup and configuration.
