  1. On the Welcome Screen, click the Open link.

  2. In the Open File or Project dialog that opens, find location of the desired project:

  3. Click OK.

To download a project from Git, follow these steps:

  1. On the Welcome Screen, click the Check out from Version Control link.

  2. Select the version control system where your project ts stored. Here it is Git:

    check out from version control

  3. On the next page, specify the path to the repository and select the directory to which a project will be cloned:

    Click the Test button to test a connection.

  4. Click Clone.
