description: Get started with Coder as an IntelliJ user.

This article will walk you through getting started with a Coder workspace and a

project that leverages IntelliJ. You'll learn how to:

- Connect Coder to your Git provider;

- Create a workspace;

- Create an IntelliJ project;

- Push your changes to GitHub.

This guide assumes that you have a Coder deployment available to you and that

you have the credentials needed to access the deployment.

You'll log into Coder in this step and connect and authenticate with your Git

provider. This will allow you to do things like pull repositories and push

changes.

1. Navigate to the Coder deployment using the URL provided to you by your site

manager, and log in.

1. Click on your avatar in the top-right, and select **Account**.


1. Provide Coder with your SSH key to connect and authenticate to GitHub.

If your site manager has configured OAuth, go to **Linked Accounts** and

follow the on-screen instructions to link your GitHub account.


If your site manager has _not_ configured OAuth, go to **SSH keys**. Copy

your public SSH key and

[provide it to GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account).


You will now create the workspace to work on your development project.

1. Return to **Workspaces** using the top navigation bar.

1. Click **New workspace** to launch the workspace-creation dialog.

1. Provide a **Workspace Name**.

1. In the **Image** section, click **Packaged** (this tab contains

Coder-provided images hosted in a Docker registry). Select **IntelliJ**. This

will populate the form in the **Import** tab.

1. Under **Workspace providers**, leave the default option (which is

**built-in**) selected.

1. Expand the **Advanced** section. If the **Run as a container-based virtual

machine** option is selected, _unselect_ the box. Leave the **CPU**,

**Memory**, **Disk**, and **GPU** allocations as-is.

1. Scroll to the bottom and click **Create workspace**. The dialog will close,

allowing you to see the main workspace page. You can track the workspace

build process using the **Build log** on the right-hand side.


Once your workspace is ready for use, you'll see a chip that says **Running**

next to the name of your workspace.

Once you've created your workspace, you can start working in Coder. For the

purposes of this article, we'll leverage JetBrains' tutorial on how to

[Create and run your first Java project](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-running-your-first-java-application.html).

1. Under **Browser applications**, click **IntelliJ IDEA Community** to open the

IDE in your browser. Follow the prompts to accept the license agreement and

determine data sharing permissions.

1. If the welcome screen opens, click **New Project**. Otherwise, open the main

menu, and select **File** > **New Project**.

1. Under Project SDK, select Download SDK, leave the pre-filled fields as-is,

and click **Download**.

1. Click **Next**.

1. Click **Next** again since you will not be creating a project from a template

1. Name your project `HelloWorld`, and click **Finish**.

1. In the Project tool window, right-click the **src** folder, then select

**New** > **Java Class**.

1. In the **Name** field, enter `com.example.helloworld.HelloWorld` and click

**OK**. The IDE will create the `com.example.helloworld` package and the

`HelloWorld` class.

1. Update your code so that it looks like the following:

```java

package com.example.helloworld;

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, world!");

}

}

```

1. Click the **green triangle** to the left of your code. In the pop-up that

appears, select **Run 'HelloWorld.main()'**. IntelliJ will begin compiling

your code.

When IntelliJ is done compiling your code, it opens a new pane at the bottom

that displays the result of running your code.

The following steps show you how to push your app to a newly created GitHub

repo.

1. Log in to GitHub and navigate to

[Create a new repository](https://github.com/new).

1. Provide a **repository name** and click **Create repository**.

1. Return to your workspace, and click **Terminal** at the bottom.

1. Run the following to turn your directory into a Git repository and commit

your initial changes:

```console

```

1. Run the following in your terminal to add a remote to your GitHub repo,

change the primary branch name to `main`, and push the contents to your newly

created repo:

```console

```

1. Within the IDE window (near the top), you'll be prompted to log in to GitHub

by providing your username and password/personal access token.

1. Next, Code Web will display an alert that says the GitHub extension wants to

sign in; click **Allow** to proceed.

1. In the subsequent window, click **Continue** to authorize Visual Studio Code

to access GitHub.

At this point, the contents of your repo should be pushed to GitHub.
