The Garden quickstart example project

Garden 5 Minute Quickstart Example

This is the GitHub repo for the example project from our 5 minute quickstart guide. This version is for Garden Bonsai (0.13), for older versions of Garden see Quickstart 0.12.

We encourage you to follow the steps of the guide before deploying the project.

(Optional) Logging in to the Garden Dashboard

Garden has a web-based UI, Garden Dashboard, complementing the Garden Core CLI tool. The Dashboard is available at https://app.garden.io. It is optional to use the Dashboard when going through this quickstart guide.

If you try out the Dashboard, make sure to login on the command line using

garden login

After a successful login, all commands will be streamed through to the Garden Dashboard.

Deploying the project

Make sure you have Garden installed and Kubernetes running locally (e.g. with Minikube or Docker for Desktop) before deploying the project.

First clone this repo with:

git clone https://github.com/garden-io/quickstart-example.git

Enter the Garden dev console.

garden dev

Then deploy the project with hot-reloading enabled by running:

deploy --sync

You can now visit the example project at http://vote.local.demo.garden.

The project itself doubles as an interactive guide that walks you through some common Garden commands and workflows. We encourage you to give it a spin!
