Click on the **Project** example you wish to work with:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-08-52-30-7655-AM.png)

The following **Project **examples are available:

- **datavault-mssql**: Project example using the Generator [Microsoft SQL Server Data Vault](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/generators?hsLang=en#microsoft-sql-server).
- **dimensional-mssql**: Project example using the Generator [Microsoft SQL Server Dimensional](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/generators?hsLang=en#microsoft-sql-server).
- **datavault-mart-mssql**: Project example using the Generator [Microsoft SQL Server DataVault & Mart](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/generators?hsLang=en#microsoft-sql-server).
- **dimensional-mart-databricks**: Project example using the Generator [Databricks Dimensional](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/generators?hsLang=en#databricks).
- **stage-file-databricks**: Project example using the Generator **[Databricks Stage File](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/generators?hsLang=en#databricks).**
- **datavault-mart-databricks**: Project example using the Generator[Databricks DataVault & Mart](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/generators?hsLang=en#databricks)**.**

To use a Project example in biGENIUS-X, there are two possibilities:

1. [Fork the GitHub Repository](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/use-a-project-example-provided-by-bigenius#fork-the-github-repository) into your own GitHub account
2. [Download the Project Repository](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/use-a-project-example-provided-by-bigenius#download-the-project-repository), create a clean repository in your own Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket environment, clone it locally, and then commit and synchronize the downloaded files

Then, [import the Project](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/import-a-project?hsLang=en) into your biGENIUS-X Organization.

#### Fork the GitHub Repository

**Sign in** to your GitHub account (or create an account if you do not have one already):

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-08-51-12-4927-AM.png?width=68&height=46&name=image-png-May-11-2023-08-51-12-4927-AM.png)

You can only fork a GitHub Repository with a GitHub account. If you do not want to create an account, you can still [download the Repository](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/use-a-project-example-provided-by-bigenius#download-the-project-repository).

Click on the **Fork** button:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-08-53-09-3213-AM.png)

The **Create a new fork** page is displayed:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-08-54-59-6580-AM.png)

You can change the Repository name and the owner if you need to.

Click on the **Create fork** button.

Your **Forked repository** is displayed in your own GitHub account:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-08-57-33-3896-AM.png)

You can now **use the URL as a Metadata Repository** when you [import a Project](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/import-a-project?hsLang=en) in biGENIUS-X.

#### Download the Project Repository

Click on the **Code** button and select the **Download ZIP** option:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-09-08-42-9466-AM.png)

A **zip file** with the **Project Repository files** is created and downloaded in the **default download location** set for your Web Browser as:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-11-2023-09-10-08-2593-AM.png?width=205&height=132&name=image-png-May-11-2023-09-10-08-2593-AM.png)

You can now **import the content of this ZIP file** into a **new Repository in your Azure DevOps or GitHub account**.

This allows you to **use the URL of this new Repository** as a Metadata Repository when you [import a Project](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/import-a-project?hsLang=en) in biGENIUS-X.
