5 Minute Quickstart
Create a workspace, connect GitHub, record a decision, and understand what success looks like.
This quickstart is the fastest way to understand the product end to end.
What You Will Do
- Create or select a workspace
- Connect a GitHub repository
- Create your first decision
- Open or update a pull request
- Review the resulting decision check
Step 1: Create A Workspace
Sign in to the dashboard and complete the initial workspace setup flow. If you are joining an existing workspace, make sure your membership is active before continuing.
Use these supporting guides if needed:
Step 2: Connect GitHub
Install the GitHub integration for the repository you want to govern.
Step 3: Create Your First Decision
Record one meaningful technical or product choice. Keep it concrete enough that a future pull request could be evaluated against it.
Step 4: Open A Pull Request
Make a change that is relevant to the decision you just recorded, or open a pull request in a repository where decision checks are already active.
Step 5: Review The Decision Check
In the simplest path, you should see one of three outcomes:
- the pull request aligns with the decision
- the pull request conflicts with the decision
- the pull request needs more decision context before the team should merge it
