Here are a few things you need to get started.
Here are a few commands to get you started with git.
The first thing you will need to do is clone the repository in to your dev environment.
To do this, you will need to have git installed. Windows Users: https://git-for-windows.github.io/ Linux Users: https://git-scm.com/download/linux Mac Users: https://git-scm.com/download/mac
If you do not already have an SSH key associated with your github account, create one by typing ssh-keygen in your terminal, and then add it to your github account. (You can find your public key by doing: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
Next, use the following command to clone the repository on to your dev machine:
git clone [email protected]:klipfolio-decode/project-apr-2017.git
Once the repository has been cloned to your dev environment, you're ready to start coding!
A typical git workflow looks something like the following:
git checkout master (to start from the master branch)
git pull (to get the most recent changes)
git checkout -b "your branch name" (to create and switch to the branch you will be working on)
make code changes
git status (to see what files have been modified)
git diff (to see that the changes are what you intend to commit)
git add . (to add the files to the commit)
git commit -m "your commit message" (to commit the code)
git push (to push your commits from your dev environment to the github repository for others to be able to get)
open pull request on github to be reviewed by a team-mate (or two)
merge the pull request once it's been approved, then delete the branch
If you run into any issues with Merge Conflicts and don't have any experience resolving them, don't hesitate to reach out to one of the Klipfolio team members for help. 😄
NPM is a useful tool for dependency management. Install it using the following link: https://nodejs.org/en/
Once installed, run npm install in the root directory of the repo.
New dependencies can be added by either adding them to the package.json file, or by doing npm install 'packagename' -s.
In order to get start, you will need to install the following tool.
- Install NodeJS and NPM for your platform.
To install dependencies:
npm install
To run the server:
npm start
To verify that your webserver started correct, browse to http://localhost:8080/hello.
