Create a New Project

To create a new project, click New Project on the left side of the screen.
You'll see this screen by default if you don't have any projects yet in Codux. Here, you can start a new project from the blank or quick-start templates we provide, namely:
To sort templates by your preferred tech stack, use the filters.
To see what a template looks like, hover over it and click Preview to see it instantly in your default browser.
You'll also find some nice additional example projects in the Explore section.
Hover over a template and choose Start with Template to get started on your new project.
Note:
When you create a new project, you'll be asked which external component libraries you want to include. These are collections of ready-made components that we’ve curated from each of these libraries which, when added, will show in the Add Elements panel. After you make your selection, click Next. Then give your new project a name, and pick a location on your computer to save it to.

Run an installation script 

When a new project is set up, you'll be asked to run a script to set up the project's prerequisites. Click Run when prompted.

Create a repository for the new project 

When you create a new project, it isn't yet linked to a GitHub repository. All changes are saved locally on your computer, and you won't be able to share the changes with others until you create the repository to sync them to.
To create a repository for the new project in Codux, click on the Sync button in the top bar. You'll see a message that either indicates that you need to log in with GitHub in Codux and then create a new repository, or just that you need to create a new repository if you're already logged in. Either way, click Continue.
When logged in to GitHub, choose the GitHub repository owner from the list populated from your GitHub account. Then, enter a name for the repo, give it a description, and select Create.
A dialog box with a Create and Cancel button. The dialog box contains a dropdown for owner (organization), text fields for repository name and description, and radio buttons for choosing the type of repository (public or private).
Important!
If you intend to share your project online, you'll have to publish it to GitHub as a public repository, as only public repositories are supported in the Codux Online Playground at this time.
Codux will give you the link to the new repository as soon as it's created.
Important!
Organizations in GitHub allow for OAuth App access restrictions, which, when enabled, may prevent Codux from pushing synced changes to the repository in that organization. Be sure that Codux is an approved OAuth App allowed in your organization.
