Directory | This field shows the path to project directories or the project root(s).

If such repositories are found, they are listed here under Unregistered roots and are marked grey. To add an unregistered root, select it in the list and click the Add button DataGrip also checks if registered roots are valid, in other words, that a Git/Mercurial repository exists at the specified path. If invalid repositories are detected, they are marked with red. |

In this case, having a copy of the base revision may help. |
