# Setup

### Set Access and Configuration

Next, define your repository’s access settings:

* **Private repository** – Only you and authorized collaborators can access it.
* **Public repository** – Anyone can view and contribute.

You can also configure:

* **.gitignore template** – Defines which files to exclude from version control (such as API keys or secrets). The template varies depending on your project’s language.

### Previews

Previews are now live you can preview your code in the [**Preview** Tab](/features/preview) to check it out.

### Move to the Main Dashboard

After setup, you’ll be redirected to the **Task Assignment** view.\
Here, you can **create your first task**, give it a clear name, and start building your project with Compyle.

You’ll also see an option called **Skip Research**:

* Enabling this tells the model **not to analyze your existing code**, and to focus only on the new task.
* This is useful when starting from scratch with an empty repository.
* However, if your project already contains code, skipping research can reduce accuracy — since the model won’t understand your current structure or dependencies.

By default, research is enabled to ensure the model produces accurate, context-aware code.

  When creating a task, write a **detailed description** of what you want to build.\
  This helps the model understand your intent and generate more precise results.
