Of course, it also possible to have a simpler scenario where the trigger, the pipeline steps and the source code of the application are all defined for the same GIT repository.

You can create new projects by clicking on*Projects* in the left sidebar and then selecting the*New Project* button on the top right corner. A dialog will appear that will ask you for the project name and optional tags that you can use for[access control]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/enterprise/access-control/).

When first creating a pipeline you will see an inline editor that allows you to define the[pipeline yml]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/codefresh-yaml/what-is-the-codefresh-yaml/) right there in the Codefresh UI. This is great when you are starting a new project because it offers you really quick feedback. You can edit the yml steps, run a build, edit again, run a build and so on.

Working with the inline editor is very convenient in the beginning, but it makes your pipeline definition only exist within the Codefresh UI and therefore goes against the basic principles of[infrastructure as code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_Code). Once you are happy with how your pipeline works you should commit it to a Git repository (which can be the same one that has the source code of the application or a completely different one).

You can click on the*Inline YAML* header and switch it to*Use YAML from URL*.

As an example, instead of using`https://github.com/codefresh-contrib/example-voting-app/blob/master/codefresh.yml` you should enter`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codefresh-contrib/example-voting-app/master/codefresh.yml`

Once you create your pipeline you can also click on the top tab called*Settings* for some extra parameters.

Codefresh also supports the creation of pipeline "templates" which are blueprints for creating new pipelines. To enable the creation of pipelines from templates first visit the global pipeline configuration at[https://g.codefresh.io/account-admin/account-conf/pipeline-settings](https://g.codefresh.io/account-admin/account-conf/pipeline-settings) and toggle the*Enable Pipeline Templates* button.
