Create a Codefresh account

Welcome to Codefresh!

Before you can create pipelines, build, and deploy applications in Codefresh, you need to create a Codefresh account.

Creating an account in Codefresh is free (no credit card is required) and can be done in three simple steps:

Codefresh account creation steps

For Codefresh on-premises, see On-premises account & user setup.

Step 1: Select your Identity Provider

As the first step in setting up your account in Codefresh, select the identity provider (IdP) to use. Codefresh currently supports the following IdPs:

  • GitHub
  • Bitbucket
  • GitLab
  • Azure
  • Google
  • LDAP

If you need an IdP that is not in the list, please contact us with the details.

NOTE
For Git repositories, the login method is less important, as you can Git repositories through Git integrations, regardless of your sign-up process.

If you have multiple sign-up methods, as long as you use the same email address for all sign-ups, Codefresh automatically redirects you to the account dashboard.

  1. Go to the Codefresh Sign Up page.

  2. Continue with Step 2: Accept the permissions request.

Step 2: Accept the permissions request

After you select the IdP (identity provider), Codefresh requests permission to access your basic details, and for Git providers, to access your Git repositories. The Permissions window that is displayed differs according to the IdP selected in the previous step.

Don’t worry, Codefresh will not do anything without your explicit approval. Codefresh needs the permissions to build and deploy your projects.

  1. Do any of the following:
    • For GitHub: To continue, click Authorize codefresh-io.

  • For Bitbucket: To continue, click Grant access.

Once you confirm the permissions for your Git provider, Codefresh automatically connects to your Git provider and fetches your basic account details, such as your email.

  1. Continue with Step 3: Verify account details.

    If the new account name already exists due to a sign-up error, please indicate this as well.
