Steps to Import an Existing Project
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I lose my Git history when importing a project into Champion?
No, Champion preserves your entire Git history, including commits, branches, and tags. You’ll be able to view and manage your project’s history as you normally would with any Git client.

Champion offers enhanced support for Git LFS (Large File Storage). If your project uses LFS for large files, Champion reviews your .gitignore during the import process and add them to its .lakefs.yaml.
