# Pull a repository into a volume

> Queues a pull of one branch into a new folder on the volume and returns the volume. The pull runs in the background. Poll Get a volume and read source.github_repositories for the folder until sync.state is ready or failed. The folder must not already contain files. A volume runs one pull or sync at a time.

See [Pull a repository through the API](/guides/github-repositories#pull-a-repository-through-the-api) for the polling sequence.

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ornn compute API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Customer HTTP API for Ornn GPU capacity. It covers reserved capacity and
    nodes, VM and Bare Metal access, Kubernetes and Slurm clusters, SSH keys,
    storage volumes and GitHub repositories, private networks, monitoring,
    buying and selling capacity (Reserve, Market, Spot, and Relist), and
    billing. API keys are scoped to one organization and act with their
    creator's access there; account, team, and API-key management stay in the
    console. Most operations require an approved organization. See
    https://docs.ornn.com/api-keys to create a key and
    https://docs.ornn.com/guides/kubernetes-api for an end-to-end Kubernetes
    integration. Examples use fictional IDs and credentials. The info.version
    field identifies the contract revision, not a shared API path version.
