Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create a Coda table

The first step is to create a Coda table with the Github project information you want to save.

‍

‍

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Github Project like links, stars, contributors, forks, license and more. It will then save all this information to your Coda table once the setup is complete.

Step 2: Install the extension and run the playbook

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Coda.
