# Using the template
The easiest way to start developing is to use our [plugin-template](https://gitdab.com/recloudstream/plugin-template) as it sets up the build environment automatically.
To get started:
1) Copy the plugin template page URL
2) Import into GitHub using the "Import a Repository" Feature
3) Check if GitHub actions are enabled, by going to: `Settings > Actions > General > Allow all actions and reusable workflows`
4) You can now create your own plugins and after you push new code, they should automatically be built
