## Developer onboarding [#developer-onboarding]

Use this checklist to finish your developer access setup before starting project work.

## Azure [#azure]

### Portal access [#portal-access]

You have been assigned a Visual Studio subscription. Activate it to unlock the Azure benefit that provides **$150 per month** in Azure credit.

2. Sign in with your company account.
3. Click **Activate subscription**.
4. Find the Azure benefit with **$150/month** credit.
5. Click **Activate** and follow the activation instructions.
6. Confirm that the Azure subscription is visible in the Azure portal.

### Source message [#source-message]

> Bylo vám přiřazeno předplatné Visual Studio. Klikněte na portál Visual Studio, aktivujte si výhodu a postupujte podle pokynů pro aktivaci.

If activation fails or the benefit is missing, open [Visual Studio help](https://my.visualstudio.com/GetHelp?mkt=en-us) and contact the team member who assigned the subscription.

## Azure DevOps [#azure-devops]

</Cards>

Confirm that you can open [https://dev.azure.com/bighubcz/](https://dev.azure.com/bighubcz/) with your company account. If access is denied, write to Jakub Vodička on Teams at [jakub.vodicka@bighub.cz](mailto:jakub.vodicka@bighub.cz) and ask him to grant Azure DevOps access with the Enterprise license.

## GitHub Copilot [#github-copilot]

Developers can access GitHub Copilot and the GitHub CLI using their company email account.

Use the BigHub GitHub username format:

```txt
firstname-surname_bighub
```

For example:

```txt
tomas-rokos_bighub
```

Confirm that you can sign in to GitHub with your company email and that Copilot is available in your editor. If GitHub CLI access is needed, authenticate it with the same GitHub account.

## Free time [#free-time]

BigHub also has space for non-project activities and shared interests.

### 3D printing [#3d-printing]

Developers interested in 3D printing can ask the team about available printers, materials, and current printing rules before preparing a model.
