### 2. Sign-in and sync your repository

For VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, follow the prompts in the Augment panel to [sign in](/setup-augment/sign-in) and [index your workspace](/setup-augment/workspace-indexing). If you don't see the Augment panel, press <Keyboard shortcut="Cmd/Ctrl L" /> or click the Augment icon in the side panel of your IDE.

For Auggie CLI, use the command `auggie login` to sign in.

### 3. Start coding with Augment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Using Agent">
    Augment agent enables you to complete tasks using natural language. Ask Agent to explain your codebase, debugging an
    issue, or writing entire functions, tests, or features. See [Using
    Agent](/using-augment/agent) for more details.
