Hi Community,

I am trying to create another project for a work-related assignment. The version of Katalon studio I am using is 8.5.1. When trying to create a project I am being asked to assign a Git/similar repo to link the project to. Due to privacy reasons, I am not allowed to perform this at this time. I have to create a new project to demo to direct report.  
Is there any way to create the new project without linking to a repo for this version?
