# 1. Set up a project

> Create a Hideout project, connect your GitHub or GitLab repo, and (optionally) link Jira or Linear.

A **project** groups your code, hardware context, and agent runs. Use one project per firmware codebase.

<Note>
  **Where:** Platform at [hideout.rootaccess.ai/](https://hideout.rootaccess.ai/) → home page → **New project**.
</Note>

## Create the project

The wizard walks you through four steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name it">
    Pick a name. You can rename later.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a repo">
    Connect a GitHub or GitLab repo.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite teammates (optional)">
    If your organization already has members, pick them from the list to add with one click. You can also invite anyone by email. Everyone joins as a **member**; change roles later in Project Settings → Members. Skip it if you're working solo for now.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a next move">
    Bring in project requirements, link Jira or Linear projects, or directly talk to Seb about what you want to build.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Link a work tracker (optional)

To mention Jira or Linear tickets in your messages when launching agents:

1. Profile → Integrations → **Connect Jira** or **Connect Linear**.
2. Project Settings → Integrations → link a project (Jira) or team (Linear) to this Hideout project.

Once linked, typing an identifier like `KAN-42` or `ROO-1163` when you chat with Seb on the Agents page pulls the ticket's title and description in as context. See the [Jira](/integrations/jira) and [Linear](/integrations/linear) pages for the connection and linking steps.

## Target a compliance standard (optional)

If your project is held to a formal compliance standard — DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 — pick the standards on the Context page and set the traceability policy in Project Settings. [Gap analysis](/guide/hardware-context#requirements-and-gap-analysis) uses them to score your codebase.

## Settings, members, danger zone

Project Settings (`/project-settings`) covers rename, traceability policy per requirement level, member invites (owner / admin / member), per-project integration links, and project deletion.
