Getting Started

To get started you will have to follow a few steps.

1. Install proper tools

Make sure your operating system has the proper tools for development.

Download and install the following tools according to the operating system and architecture that you use:

• Nodejs

• Git

2. Clone the repository

Make sure you have access to the Urapolku git repository and clone the repository into a directory of your choosing.

change directory into the directory you want inside your favourite command line terminal, or use a tool like:

• Github Desktop

To clone the repository.

To do it from within a terminal, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Urapolku-fi/Urapolku.fi-nextjs.git

After you've cloned your repository, you'll want to switch to the Development branch

Ask your superior what you should work on, and when he/she has told you what you can work on, create a feature branch for the feature you will be working on.

Name it in the following convention:

Dev-FeatureName

So that other developers know you are working on a feature within Development. When your feature is finished, it will be merged into the Development branch.

3. Setup Environment variables

Go to the discord server that you are invited to for Urapolku and check out the channel: #environment-variables

Make sure you put these environment variables into a local file in the root of the folder called: .env.local

4. Start Developing

Since you have Nodejs installed, you should be able to run the following 2 commands:

npm install

npm run dev
