## To add a project which is not stored in GIT

If you have already executed your Jobs on a development environment and want to have the exact same Jobs you have previously generated on your production environment, you can create a "no-GIT" project in which you will import the generated Jobs.

In this case, note that the name of the project must be the same as the name of the development project in which you have previously generated your Jobs.

For more information on how to import a Job that has been previously generated, see [Adding an execution task to a pre-generated Job](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/administration-center-user-guide/8.0/adding-execution-task-to-pre-generated-job).
