Logon to ADT, right-click on your ABAP cloud project and select **Properties**. ![Create software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/component.png) 2. Click on your system URL. ![Create software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/component2.png) 3. Logon to your ABAP system in your SAP Fiori launchpad and select **Manage Software Component**. ![Create software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/component3.png) 4. Select **`+`** to add a new software component. ![Create software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/component4.png) 5. Create a new software component: - Name: **`Z_SWCT_XXX`** - Type: **Development** Click **Save**. ![Create software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/component5.png) ### Pull software component 1. In your available software component **`Z_SWCT_XXX`** click **Pull**. ![Pull software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/pull.png) Note: In the initial system, the 'main' branch will not be visible until you've released a transport request. If you are pulling in the production system, all branches will be available before you've released an ABAP transport request. 2. Click **OK**. ![Pull software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/pull2.png) 3. Check your result. Your pull is successful. ![Pull software component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/pull3.png) ### Create ABAP class 1. Switch to your ADT, right-click on **Favorite Packages** and select **Add Package**. ![Create ABAP class](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/class.png) 2. Search for **`Z_SWCT_XXX`**, select it and click **OK**. ![Create ABAP class](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/class2.png) 3. Right-click on your `superpackage` **`Z_SWCT_XXX`** and select **Add Package**. ![Create ABAP class](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-branch/class3.png) 4.
