Quick start: Creating a Codefresh account

Create a Codefresh account and start working in Codefresh

Begin your GitOps journey by creating a Codefresh account.

Creating an account gives you access to the Codefresh platform, where you can install Runtimes and create and manage GitOps entities.
After you select the IdP (identity provider), Codefresh requests permission to access your basic details, and for Git providers, to access your Git repositories.

Codefresh requires these permissions in order to build and deploy your applications.

Codefresh currently supports the following IdPs:

  • GitHub
  • Bitbucket
  • GitLab
  • Azure
