# Get Ready to Use a Source Control System

DevOps Center requires that you use it with a source control system. You can create a new account or use an existing account. Right now, we support GitHub and Bitbucket (beta).

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-devops_center-264-0-0-production-enus/166010c3-4c34-4087-92ad-aea917baf524/images/icon_note.png)

Note DevOps Center Bitbucket Cloud support is a pilot or beta service that is subject to the Beta Services Terms at [Agreements - Salesforce.com](https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/agreements/) or a written Unified Pilot Agreement if executed by Customer, and applicable terms in the [Product Terms Directory](https://ptd.salesforce.com/?_ga=2.247987783.1372150065.1709219475-629000709.1639001992). Use of this pilot or beta service is at the Customer's sole discretion.

If you’re new to source control, we recommend you get ready by reading the source control documentation. If you plan to use GitHub, see the [Git and GitHub Basics](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/git-and-git-hub-basics) module and the [Work with the GitHub Workflow](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/git-and-git-hub-basics/work-with-the-git-hub-workflow) unit in Trailhead.

1. Create an account.
    
    Most source control system vendors offer a free account, if your company doesn’t already use source control.
    
    - [GitHub](https://github.com/join?ref_cta=Sign+up&ref_loc=header+logged+out&ref_page=%2F&source=header-home)
    - [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/account/signup) (beta)
2. Send your username to the team manager or Salesforce admin who’s setting up DevOps Center so they can add you as a collaborator in the project repository.
3. Accept the invitation to collaborate in the repository.
    
    If you haven’t received an email invitation, contact the person who set up DevOps Center.
