Setting up the development environment

Requirements

• nodejs
• npm (usually included in nodejs installation)

Steps

Ionic project

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/xavierfigueroav/contesthub

2. Enter the project

cd contesthub

3. Install the project dependencies (npm will use package.json to get this done, do not worry about which dependencies there are). Just

npm install

4. You are ready to run the project and continue the development

ionic serve

Take into account

• In case you need a new dependency, it is recommended to make use of npm install <package_name>, instead of CDNs. Also, remember uninstall them npm uninstall <package_name>, in case you no longer need it.

• Remember to always modify the file .gitignore to inclide any directory or file that your IDE or code editor generates (e.g., Visual Studio Code generates the directory .vscode), or any temporal file that only makes sense to you and the team is not interested in. Verify that by using git status.

• It is recommended to follow the Github workflow throughout the project development. In a nutshell

  • Create a new branch (from master) for any new feature that you add git checkout -b <nueva_rama> master.

  • After adding changes, push the new branch git push origin <nueva_rama>.

  • DO NOT push changes to master. Eventually, use git merge or git rebase to merge the changes into master, as long as they are production-ready.
