How to create a new project

A project is a new GitHub repository copied from a published template release, never from a draft or from Live Data. Only organization admins can create projects.

Before you start

• You are an organization admin.
• The master template has at least one published version. If the master-version list is empty, open the template and use Publish Version first.

Create the repository

1. On the editor home screen, select your organization.
2. Click + New project.
3. Fill in Name, Number, and Language.
4. Choose the Master version (the published release to copy).
5. Click Create repository.

The editor creates the GitHub repo, opens a first-config draft, and takes you to Goals.

The template and master version are locked after create. You can still edit name, number, and language later on a draft.

What you have now

• A project repository (shown as something like yourorg-project-campus-xy-007).
• A draft named first-config so you can configure immediately: pick project goals and/or use cases.
• Nothing in the viewer yet. The frontend only lists published project releases. That second freeze comes after you configure, merge to Live Data, and Publish Version.

Continue with Configure a project.
