Is there a way to start an AI studio project based on GitHub repo?

I have an old GitHub project repository, and I would like to use it as a fresh starting point for a new project in AI Studio. However, I haven’t found a way to do that. I tried uploading all the repository files using the + button to upload files and asked AI Studio to generate an app based on the system and files I uploaded. After a while, AI Studio generated a completely new app that has little to do with the code I uploaded. Is there a correct way to achieve this?

Best regards,
