Have Ionic watch your existing git repo

Hey all,

So I was just added to a project and am new to Ionic. I was given a git repo but don’t know how to have ionic watch that repo. I tried creating a new project then copy and pasting the existing files into the appropriate file locations in the new project, but that seems a little unconventional.

Anyone have any suggestions? I’m still pretty new to this so bare with me.

Thanks!
