- Fistly you have to make your own copy of project. For that you have to fork the repository. You can find the fork button on the top-right side of the browser window. (Refer image below )
- Kindly wait till it gets forked.
- After that copy will look like
<your-user-name>/edu-client
forked fromcodeforcause/edu-client
.
- Now you have your own copy of project. Here you have to start your work.
- Go to desired location on your computer where you want to set-up the project.
- Right click there and click on
git bash
. A terminal window will pop up - Type the command
git clone <your-fork-url>.git
and hit enter.(Refer the image to copy url) - Wait for few seconds till the project gets copied
- Now you have to set up remote repositories
- Type
git remote -v
in terminal to list remote connections to your repo. - It will show something like this:
origin https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (push)
- Now type the command
git remote add upstream https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-client.git
this will set upstream as main directory - Again type in command
git remote -v
to check if remote has been set up correctly - It should show something like this :
origin https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-client.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-client.git (push)
Whenever you want to contribute to any project. It is best practice that you should create a branch and push the branch as PR rather than directly pushing main/master branch
git branch
will list all the branched in the repository- Now type
git branch <your-branch-name>
- You can check the created branch by
git branch
- But still if you start editing the edits will go to the main branch. To change the path of the edits type in
git checkout <your-branch-name>
- Now you are ready to do the desired changes.
- Create a new file
.env
in root directory. - Copy all the default content from
.env.example
file to.env
file. - You can edit this
.env
file to provide your own project credentials if needed in future for specific tweaks and tests.
- Open this clonned folder in text editor of your choice
- If you want to use the project using
npm
then that comes along side when you download and install node js
- Open the terminal and type in
npm install
, to install all the dependencies. - Run:
npm start

npm test
. This launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode. - See the section about running tests for more information.
- Run the command
npm run build
- Builds the app for production to the
build
folder.\ - It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
- The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed! - See the section about deployment for more information.
Skip the yarn part and proceed to the Pushing the changes section here
- Open this clonned folder in text editor of your choice
- If you want to use the project using
yarn
then you can do either of the following- Download Yarn Package manager here
- If you already have
npm
installed you can simply type innpm install --global yarn

and hit enter. - Now push your branch to your fork by
git push origin <your-branch-name>
and hit enter.
By this time you can see a message on your github fork as your fork is ahead of codeforcause:master by <number> of commits
and also you can see a button called Compare and pull request
