The project file should be created in the root of the cloned project folder. To achieve this, first, ensure that the **Project title** is the same as the folder name that Godot was cloned into. Unless you cloned the project into a folder with a different name, this will be `godot`.
Second, ensure that the **Folder to create project in** is the folder you ran the Git clone command from, not the `godot` project folder. Confirm that the **Resulting filename** field will create the project file in the root of the cloned project folder.
The compiler and configuration settings are managed through **SCons** and will be configured later. However, it's worth deselecting the **Create "Release" configuration** option; so only a single build target is created before clicking **Finish**.
Select the **"Make" commands** tab and remove all the existing commands for all the build targets. For each build target enter the **SCons** command for creating the desired build in the **Build project/target** field. The minimum is `scons`. For details on the **SCons** build options, see `doc_introduction_to_the_buildsystem`. It's also useful to add the `scons --clean` command in the **Clean project/target** field to the project's default commmands.
Once **SCons** has successfully built the desired target, reopen the project **Properties...** and select the **Build targets** tab. In the **Output filename** field, browse to the `bin` folder and select the compiled file.
Code::Blocks should now be configured to run your compiled Godot executable; so either select **Build > Run**, click the green arrow button, or press :kbd:`Ctrl + F10`.
There are two additional points worth noting. First, if required, the **Execution working dir** field can be used to test specific projects, by setting it to the folder containing the `project.godot` file. Second, the **Build targets** tab can be used to add and remove build targets for working with and creating different builds.
Before editing any files, remember that all code needs to comply with the `doc_code_style_guidelines`. One important difference with Godot is the use of tabs for indents. Therefore, the key default editor setting that needs to be changed in Code::Blocks is to enable tabs for indents. This setting can be found by selecting **Settings > Editor**.
That's it. You're ready to start contributing to Godot using the Code::Blocks IDE. Remember to save the project file and the **Workspace**. If you run into any issues, ask for help in one of `Godot's community channels ( https://godotengine.org/community )`.
