# Projects

A project is your application, imported from a single Git repository. It owns its build configuration, its pipelines, and its deployments.

## Setup a New Project

In your organizations’ workspace, click ‘Add’ button and select ‘New project’ from the drop-down.

## Import your Repository

Select the Git provider and the repository you want to setup as a new project.

To add or [manage a Git provider](https://salus.cloud/docs/getting-started/git-management/), select the drop-down and select the provider you would like to add, or head over to organizations’ settings to manage the available providers

## Define Project Details

Your project name and description are populated automatically from your repository details. You can update them, or swap the workspace or repository you want to set up.

## Define Project Type

You can set up two types of project on Salus:

1.  **Server-side applications** — web services that run backend code (APIs, server-rendered apps).
2.  **Client-side applications** — static sites built into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

For Node.js projects, you also choose the **Node.js version** your app runs on. See [Supported Stacks](https://salus.cloud/docs/getting-started/supported-stacks/).

## Setup Additional Custom Configurations

You can set additional build commands, such as:

-   Install command
-   Build command
-   Output directory
-   Test command

Salus fills in sensible defaults for the framework it detects; see [Buildpacks](https://salus.cloud/docs/pipelines/builds/buildpacks/) for how builds are configured.

## Create your Project

Once your project is created successfully, you’ll be redirected to the pipeline landing page.
