# Quickstart
This guide will walk you through creating your first template and workspace. If you haven't already installed `coder`, do that first [here](./install.md).
## Creating your first template and workspace
In a new terminal window, run the following to copy a sample template:
```bash
coder templates init
```
Follow the CLI instructions to modify and create the template specific for your
usage (e.g., a template to **Develop in Linux on Google Cloud**).
Create a workspace using your template:
```bash
coder create --template="yourTemplate" <workspaceName>
```
Connect to your workspace via SSH:
```bash
coder ssh <workspaceName>
```
## Modifying templates
If needed, you can edit the Terraform template using a sample template:
```sh
coder templates init
cd gcp-linux/
vim main.tf
coder templates update gcp-linux
```
