# Quickstart

Connect your first source to Falconer and ask questions or write a doc about your codebase.

In this quickstart, you will:

- Connect GitHub to Falconer
- Ingest your code
- Ask your first question
- Create your first document

## Step 1: Connect GitHub

Connect your GitHub repo to index your code.

1. Navigate to **Integrations** from the bottom left menu.
2. Next to GitHub, click **Connect.**
3. Authorize Falconer to access your repositories (you can also add a public repo).
4. Select which repositories you want to connect.

Falconer ingests your code as context within minutes, so you can immediately start asking questions and writing docs.

## Step 2: Ask your first question

Ask questions about your codebase from the home page. Falconer uses your code and other connected sources to deliver high-quality answers with citations.

## Step 3: Write a doc for the answer

In the prompt box, say "Write a doc for this." Falconer will take the context and convert it into a document.

## Next steps

- [**Connect more sources**](/docs/set-up/connect-sources) -- Add Slack, Linear, Notion, and more to give Falconer broader context across your stack.
- [**Write a doc from Slack**](/docs/write/write-a-doc-from-slack) -- Turn any Slack thread into a structured Falconer document in one step.
- [**Update docs from Slack**](/docs/update/update-docs-from-slack) -- Keep docs current by asking Falcon to apply updates directly from a conversation.
- [**Capture decisions in Slack**](/docs/ask/capture-decisions-in-slack) -- Use `@Falcon remember` to save important decisions and context the moment they happen.
