# How to import an existing Vercel project into v0 for editing

Hi everyone,  

I’m trying to move an existing, deployed `Next.js` project into `v0` for editing. Since there isn’t a direct “Edit in v0” button on the Vercel dashboard, I connected my project to a new `GitHub` repository.

## Problem
- After connecting the project, the `GitHub` repo remains empty (only contains the default `README.md`). 
- The actual source code from my Vercel deployment hasn’t synced over to `GitHub`. 
- Consequently, when I try to import that repo into `v0`, it shows no code/files.

## Question
Is there a way to force Vercel to push the current deployment files to a connected Git repo, or must this always be done manually from a local environment? Also, is a more direct “Vercel Project → v0” integration planned?

I see that you were working on it more than a year ago. Am I missing something?

Welcome to the community, @nordfyagency!

This shouldn't happen. I just tried importing one of my Git repos and it worked! I could see the code. 

Can you try another repo?
