Administrator Quick Start Guide
Have you recently signed up for SpaceCode? Follow these steps to quickly set up your SpaceCode organization and onboard your team.
Step 1. Invite people to join you in SpaceCode
Bring your team on board. The easiest way is to send email invitations or share a link to join. To do so, click Help on the top right and choose Invite team members.
You can also let users register with their emails or third-party credentials.
Step 2. Create your first project
Projects are where you mirror or host and manage your repositories and tools, such as quality control settings and code reviews.
To create a new project, simply click 
on the top left and choose Project.
Now you can start planning and working on your tasks.
Add other members that will be working on the project with you.
Set up a new Git repository from scratch or import or mirror your existing repo from another resource such as GitHub and start collaborating. Track commit history, search and examine code. Create code reviews.
Step 3. Set up a branching strategy for your project
A branching strategy is a concept that defines how branches are created for different purposes (e.g., development, testing, hotfixes) and how the changes should be merged between branches. The goal is to keep the main branch stable while allowing for flexible and concurrent development on other branches.
We recommend a strategy that is native to SpaceCode – SpaceCode Git flow. It includes many essential features that ensure merge safety: protected branches, merge requests, quality gates, and others.
Step 4. Create Teams
Organizing members into thematic groups will help you simplify access and permission management. To create a team:
On the top right, click your avatar and choose Administration.
On the left sidebar menu, choose Teams.
Click New Team.
Step 5. Integrate SpaceCode with external services
Connect SpaceCode Code to your CI/CD server, issue tracker, and messenger to extend its quality control capabilities and promote seamless collaboration in your team.
