Hi, I'm trying to link my existing website directory to a GitHub repository using the Git module in aaPanel. Current State: I have already generated an SSH Key via aaPanel and added it to my GitHub Deploy Keys. When I test the connection via terminal (ssh -T git@github.com ) , it says "Successfully authenticated". My website directory /www/wwwroot/example.com already contains a .git folder. The Problem: When I go to the Git tab of my website and click "Import", I fill in the Repository (SSH URL) and Branch (main). However, I keep getting this error: Connection to GIT failed: fatal: No remote configured to list refs from. Also, the UI shows: You need to create the website from Git to use this feature. How can I make aaPanel recognize the existing .git configuration or successfully import this project without deleting my files?

Hi,
I'm trying to link my existing website directory to a GitHub repository using the Git module in aaPanel.

Current State:

I have already generated an SSH Key via aaPanel and added it to my GitHub Deploy Keys.
When I test the connection via terminal (ssh -T git@github.com), it says "Successfully authenticated".
My website directory /www/wwwroot/example.com already contains a .git folder.

The Problem:
When I go to the Git tab of my website and click "Import", I fill in the Repository (SSH URL) and Branch (main). However, I keep getting this error:
Connection to GIT failed: fatal: No remote configured to list refs from.

Also, the UI shows: You need to create the website from Git to use this feature.

How can I make aaPanel recognize the existing .git configuration or successfully import this project without deleting my files?
