Every Empirical project has a git repository containing its Playwright tests. This is separate from your application repository: Empirical tests your deployed application as a black box and does not need your application source code.

​
Clone the repository

Install and sign in to the Empirical CLI, then run:
If your account has access to more than one project, select one by slug:
Pass a directory as the first argument to choose where the repository is cloned:
The clone URL uses Empirical’s git endpoint at git.empirical.run. The CLI configures a credential helper automatically so git can use your Empirical login.

​
Use git directly

To configure the credential helper without cloning, run this once on each machine:
You can then use standard git commands:
Your user login can fetch and push feature branches. Pushes to the project’s default branch are rejected; changes should be reviewed and merged through the normal pull request workflow. Project API keys, including keys used by CI and test-run containers, have read-only repository access.

Ownership

The test code written for your project belongs to your organization. Contact hey@empirical.run if you need repository access or an export.
