## About integration with an IDE
{% data reusables.classroom.about-online-ides %}
After a student accepts an assignment with an IDE, the README file in the student's assignment repository will contain a button to open the assignment in the IDE. The student can begin working immediately, and no additional configuration is necessary.
## Supported IDEs
{% data variables.product.prodname_classroom %} supports the following IDEs. You can learn more about the student experience for each IDE.
| IDE | More information |

We know cloud IDE integrations are important to your classroom and are working to bring more options.
## Configuring an IDE for an assignment
You can choose the IDE you'd like to use for an assignment when you create an assignment. To learn how to create a new assignment that uses an IDE, see [AUTOTITLE](/education/manage-coursework-with-github-classroom/teach-with-github-classroom/create-an-individual-assignment) or [AUTOTITLE](/education/manage-coursework-with-github-classroom/teach-with-github-classroom/create-a-group-assignment).
## Setting up an assignment in a new IDE
The first time you configure an assignment using a different IDE, you must ensure that it is set up correctly.
Unless you use {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}, you must authorize the {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_app %} for the IDE for your organization. For all repositories, grant the app **read** access to metadata, administration, and code, and **write** access to administration and code. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/oauth-apps/using-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps).
{% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} does not require an {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_app %}, but you need to enable {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} for your organization to be able to configure an assignment with {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/education/manage-coursework-with-github-classroom/integrate-github-classroom-with-an-ide/using-github-codespaces-with-github-classroom#enabling-codespaces-for-your-organization).
