The new project wizard is meant to create new projects from templates-  it will deploy the new project as a instantiation of the template to a new or existing GH repo (in a subdir).

If you are using an existing project from an existing repo, its a different process:  you initialize the stack using the cloud backend (appears in Stacks).  Then you can configure deployments in the Settings/Deploy (or choose 'configure deployments' from the context menu on the stacks page).  You can input your existing GH repo/branch etc.

<@U066G1HU58V> Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, although I've to admit the process is kinda bumpy, because I've to use the CLI to create the stack from a GH repo which I've to clone first somewhere and run the CLI.

yes, i tend to agree- its a use-case I hadn't really thought about until you mentioned it

here is something interesting, using the automation API: <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/nodejs/remoteDeployment-tsnode/index.ts>
