{% tip %}
**Tip:** GitHub Importer is not suitable for all imports. For example, if your existing code is hosted on a private network, our tool won't be able to access it. In these cases, we recommend [importing using the command line](/migrations/importing-source-code/using-the-command-line-to-import-source-code/importing-an-external-git-repository-using-the-command-line) for Git repositories or an external [source code migration tool](/migrations/importing-source-code/using-the-command-line-to-import-source-code/source-code-migration-tools) for projects imported from other version control systems.
