# Take a test drive

You can easily try out Netlify CMS by running it on a pre-configured starter site. Our example in the [intro](/docs/intro) is the [Kaldi small business Hugo template](https://github.com/netlify-templates/kaldi-hugo-cms-template). Use the deploy button below to build and deploy your own copy of the repository:
|
|
|
|
[](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/netlify-templates/kaldi-hugo-cms-template)
|
|
|
|
## Authenticate with GitHub
|
|
|
|
When the deploy completes, you can see your site, but in order to use the CMS, you'll need to set up authentication with GitHub.
|
|
|
|
First, register the site CMS as an authorized application with your GitHub account:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your account **Settings** page on GitHub, and click **Oauth Applications** under **Developer Settings** (or use [this shortcut](https://github.com/settings/developers)).
|
|
2. Click **Register a new application**.
|
|
3. For the **Authorization callback URL**, enter `https://api.netlify.com/auth/done`. The other fields can contain anything you want.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you complete the registration, you'll be given a **Client ID** and a **Client Secret** for the app. You'll need to add these to your Netlify project:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your [**Netlify dashboard**](https://app.netlify.com/) and click on your project.
|
|
2. Click the **Access** tab.
|
|
3. Under **Authentication Providers**, click **Install Provider**.
|
|
4. Select GitHub and enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, then save.
|
|
|
|
## Access the CMS
|
|
|
|
With the site deployed and authentication in place, you'll be able to enter the CMS by going to the URL of your new site and appending `/admin`.
