# Create a Project from a Repository

If you already have a DX project in a GitHub repo, you can clone the repo into your Code Builder environment.

**note:** To clone a repo using SSH, the Code Builder environment needs an SSH key that is recognized by GitHub. To configure the SSH key, follow the [Connecting to GitHub with SSH](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh) instructions on the GitHub website. You must complete these steps before you can clone a repo.

To create a project from a GitHub repo, let's use the [dreamhouse-lwc](https://github.com/trailheadapps/dreamhouse-lwc) sample app.

1. Click the hamburger icon (![hamburger icon](https://developer.salesforce.com/media/codebuilder/icon_hamburger.png)) in the Activity Bar and select **Terminal > New Terminal**.
2. Clone the `dreamhouse-lwc` sample app repo into `/home/codebuilder/` by running:

```text
git clone git@github.com:trailheadapps/dreamhouse-lwc.git
```

3. Click the hamburger icon in the Activity Bar and click **File > Open Folder**.
4. Select the `dreamhouse-lwc` folder that was generated by the clone command.

The `dreamhouse-lwc` project is now open and ready to use in Code Builder!
