Create a Git project
In previous sections of the documentation you explored using Quix Streams. You now continue your journey on the command line by installing the Quix CLI, and then using it to connect with Quix Cloud.
From your Git repository, you create a simple project on the command line, add a data source application, along with a transform and destination, test it, and then sync it with your Quix Cloud pipeline view.
Step 1: Create a Git repository
Create a Git repo where you can store your files, for example you could use GitHub. Create a repo initialized with a README.md file, so it can be cloned more easily.

Step 3: Install Quix CLI
For further details on installation, including instructions for Microsoft Windows, see the install guide.

Step 4: Initialize your project as a Quix project
In your Git project directory, enter:
This initializes your Quix project with a quix.yaml file, which describes your Quix project.
