## About access to {% data variables.product.github %} from a restricted network
In rare cases, an institution's network access policy may restrict access to specific domain names for end users. For example, the policy may use DNS filtering to deny access to sites like {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. If your institution requires this level of control, but you still want to permit access to services on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, you can create exceptions in your policy to allow access to the necessary domains.

## Getting started
In the user interface on {% data variables.location.product_location %}, you can perform the whole "{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} flow" for contributing to a repository, including creating a branch or fork, editing and previewing files, committing your changes, and creating a pull request. You can also upload files from your computer or download them from the repository. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/get-started/using-github/github-flow).

Working directly on {% data variables.location.product_location %} is often the quickest way to contribute to a repository, for the following reasons.
* You're working directly with the repository hosted on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, so you don't have to download a copy of the repository to your computer and keep this copy in sync.
* If you're already signed in to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, you have access to any repository where you have the necessary permissions, so you don't need to set up any additional authentication on your computer.

* If you want an editor where you can quickly open or create files, you can press the `.` key in any repository to open the github.dev editor. This is a lightweight web-based editor that includes many of the features of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, such as a search bar and buttons for Git commands. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/codespaces/the-githubdev-web-based-editor).
* If you want to stay in the browser but need to do things like run commands, create a test build of your project, or install dependencies, you can open a repository in a codespace. A codespace is a remote development environment with storage and compute power. It includes an editor and integrated terminal, and comes preinstalled with common tools you may need to work with a project, including Git. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/codespaces/overview).

## Working from the desktop
To work with a repository from your desktop, you'll need to download (or "clone") a copy of the repository to your computer, then push any changes you make to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. Working from your desktop can have several advantages over working in the browser.

* You can work with all your local files and tools.
* You have access to compute power. For example, you might need to run a script to create a local preview of a site, so you can test the changes you're making.
* You don't need an Internet connection to work on a project.
If you haven't worked with a {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} repository from your desktop before, you'll need to authenticate to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} from your computer, so you can access the repositories you need. You may also need to set up your working environment with the tools you need to contribute, such as Git, an editor, and dependencies for a project. For these reasons, it can take longer to get started if you want to work from your desktop, compared to working in the browser.

You can also install {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %}, a command-line interface that lets you perform many actions on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, such as creating a pull request or forking a repository. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/get-started/getting-started-with-git/set-up-git) and [AUTOTITLE](/github-cli/github-cli/about-github-cli).

* If you'd prefer to use a visual interface, you can use a visual Git client such as {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %}. With {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %}, you can visualize the changes you're making and access most Git commands through a visual interface, so you don't need to memorize any commands.

An editor such as {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} includes an integrated terminal and buttons for common Git commands, so you can edit files and push your changes to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} all from one place. You can also install an extension to work directly with pull requests and issues on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
