# Configuring CI Using Circle CI and Nx
Below is an example of a Circle CI setup, building, and testing only what is affected.
```yaml {% fileName=".circleci/config.yml" %}
version: 2.1
orbs:
nx: nrwl/nx@1.6.2
jobs:
main:
docker:
- image: cimg/node:lts-browsers
steps:
- checkout
# This line enables distribution
# The "--stop-agents-after" is optional, but allows idle agents to shut down once the "e2e-ci" targets have been requested
# - run: npx nx-cloud start-ci-run --distribute-on="3 linux-medium-js" --stop-agents-after="e2e-ci"
- run: npm ci
- nx/set-shas
- run: npx nx-cloud record -- nx format:check
- run: npx nx affected --base=$NX_BASE --head=$NX_HEAD -t lint test build e2e-ci
workflows:
build:
jobs:
- main
```
### Get the Commit of the Last Successful Build
`CircleCI` can track the last successful run on the `main` branch and use this as a reference point for the `BASE`. The [Nx Orb](https://github.com/nrwl/nx-orb) provides a convenient implementation of this functionality, which you can drop into your existing CI workflow. Specifically, for push commits, `nx/set-shas` populates the `$NX_BASE` environment variable with the commit SHA of the last successful run.
To understand why knowing the last successful build is important for the affected command, check out the [in-depth explanation in Orb's docs](https://github.com/nrwl/nx-orb#background).
### Using CircleCI in a private repository
To use the [Nx Orb](https://github.com/nrwl/nx-orb) with a private repository on your main branch, you need to grant the orb access to your CircleCI API. Create an environment variable called `CIRCLE_API_TOKEN` in the context of the project.
{% callout type="warning" title="Caution" %}
It should be a user token, not the project token.
{% /callout %}
