System Requirements

• git
• node
• nvm

Getting Started

1. Fork the project (this copies the SDTH Website repository to your GitHub account)

1. Clone your fork (copies your GitHub SDTH Website repository to your local computer)

   git clone https://github.com/[your-github-username]/sdth-site.git

2. Confirm you are in the right directory in terminal: cd sdth-site

3. Add an upstream remote for keeping your local repository up-to-date

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/san-diego-tech-hub/sdth-site.git

4. Run cp env.default .env.dev

5. Grab the environment variables from a developer in the slack channel

1. Run nvm use use the version of node identified in .nvmrc

2. Run npm ci to install the project dependencies

3. Run npm start to start your dev environment

Creating a new pull request

1. Make sure you are on the development branch, and you have pulled the latest changes

   git checkout development && git pull upstream development

2. Install any new dependencies: npm ci

3. Create a new branch off of the development branch

   git checkout -b [NEW BRANCH NAME]

   Branch naming conventions: fix/[BRANCH] for bug fixes, feature/[BRANCH] for new features, dev/[BRANCH] for non-user-facing changes. The [BRANCH] portion should be kebab case. For example, if you want to update the README.md file, your branch could be called dev/update-readme

4. Make changes and commit them. git add . && git commit -m "[YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE]"

   The subject of a commit message (the first line) should be 72 characters or less. If you need more room for a longer explanation of your changes, you can add a blank line below the subject and write a commit body. The commit message should be in present-imperative tense (“Update README.md” rather than “Updates” or “Updated”).

5. Push your branch to your fork: git push -u origin [BRANCH NAME]

6. Open a new pull request against the development branch from your fork using the GitHub user interface
