# First Demo Command

Let's start by creating a new repository on Github. In this case we suggest using an existing repository as a template:

Go to: `https://github.com/scenerygraphics/minimal-sciview-example-project`

And click "Use this template" (shown as a green button in the image below)

![](/files/-MNJY8xAWxFwmnAmDIUP)

Now give your repository a name

![](/files/-MNJY8xBZyt3lghmPFIC)

Once you click "Create repository from template" and wait for it to complete, you will have a page like this

![](/files/-MNJY8xC7IDq-KLi4LB-)

Now open up IntelliJ and create your new project

![](/files/-MNJY8xD3OhBo6SG5UBQ)

Click on "Get from Version Control" (or "Open or Import" if you have already downloaded/cloned the repository)

![](/files/-MNJY8xGHMPK409sqgLs)

You can find this URL in your browser from the Github page of your repository

![](/files/-MNJY8xHT18Ml5eou_iN)

Almost there! Now expand the directories with your code inside IntelliJ

![](/files/-MNJY8xIVUBBw22hPqyH)

Open "MyDemo" and you will see the code for this command

## Tips for making your command

IntelliJ provides many additional features that can speed up your coding process, such as autocompletion of commands. Try typing `sciView.` and see the menu that shows up:
