# [Contentstack Launch] - Launch Quick Start Guide with Remix

This page explains how to create and deploy your first Contentstack Launch project using Remix by importing a GitHub repository. It is intended for developers and organization admins/owners who need to set up a Remix project on Launch using GitHub.

## Launch Quick Start Guide with Remix

The fastest way to get started with Remix on Launch is by creating a project by importing the website code from [GitHub](https://github.com/tejas-contentstack/remix-101) or [Bitbucket Cloud](/docs/developers/launch/import-a-project-using-bitbucket-cloud/).

This document guides you through the process of creating a project using GitHub.

## Prerequisites
- [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/)
- Access to Launch for your organization
- [GitHub account](https://github.com/login)

## Steps for Execution

Follow the steps given below to deploy your first Launch project using GitHub:
