Importing a Git repository into Vercel used to require navigating to it on the Git provider of your choice, copying its URL from the address bar, pasting it in the project creation flow on Vercel and then following the steps.

Thanks to its most recent update, however, the [project creation flow](https://vercel.com/new) now renders a list of recommended Git repositories to import and allows for searching for a particular one as well, annotated with icons for the frameworks that are being used within those Git repositories.

Cloning a Template is now also much easier than before, as they are presented on the same page as the recommended Git repositories.

Check out [the documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/git#deploying-a-git-repository) as well.
