Codefresh pipelines are grouped within projects. Think of a project as a folder or directory that groups related pipelines. For example, all pipleines that package/deploy the different microservices for an application.

You can define any name for the project, the most common example being the name of the application that the pipelines build and deploy.

You now have a new project and can create your CI first pipeline within the project.
