Create a project

In this guide, you'll discover how to easily create a new project or import an existing project from GitHub within the Hiro Platform.

After you log in, you'll land on the /projects page. This is where you can either create a project from scratch, choose an example project, or import one from GitHub.

Create a new project

To start a new project, you can begin with a blank project or by choosing one of the example projects provided. The selections includes options such as:

• Hello world
• Fungible token and Non-fungible token
• Counter
• DeFi

For this example, you are going to create a new project using the Counter template.

Starting on the /projects page:

1. Click on the New project button.
2. In the template section, browse the examples. Look for the Counter template and select it.

When you select the Counter template, you'll be taken to a new project page as the template will automatically be cloned and displayed.

Here, you can see a list of contracts with a .clar extension.

On the right hand side of the interface, you can start editing your smart contracts, which will be validated in real-time.

To add a new contract, you can click on the Create Contract button that sits on the left hand side of the interface above your existing contracts.

Import a project from GitHub

1. Click on the Import from GitHub button.
2. Enter the GitHub URL of the project you wish to import and click on Clone.

Similar to creating a new project manually, after cloning, you will be redirected to your project page.
