# Test Kerno with OSS Projects

You can use one the open source projects listed below to try Kerno in a safe and simple way. This will give you a clear understanding of how Kerno works and how it integrates into your own workflow.

### How You Use a Sample Project

1. Fork a project from the list.
2. Clone it to your machine.
3. Start the backend locally.
4. Open the project in your editor with [Kerno installed.](/docs/getting-started/overview.md)
5. Let Kerno index the codebase and generate the test environment.
6. Run the tests and make code changes to see how Kerno reacts.

This lets you understand the full workflow without any risk.
