# Add a new application using code

There are two ways to add a new application: [manually by using a form](../add.md) or automatically by using code. This article explains how to add an application using code.

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating from code isn't just for applications - you can also deploy namespaces, ingresses, ConfigMaps, secrets, volumes and more using code.
{% endhint %}

From the menu, select **Applications** and click **Create from code**. Next, choose whether you want to deploy your application using a **Manifest** or a **Helm chart**.
