Lebob FLL Robotics Team Website

The recommended code editor for beginners is VSCode. Install VSCode here.

Contributing

Issues

• Issues are used for telling other contributors what to fix (issues the code has)

• To create an issue, go to the issues tab on our repository and click new issue

• If you want to work on an issue, assign yourself and comment on the issue to tell other contributors that you are doing the issue

Cloning the Repo

• To begin making changes on the repository, you must clone it to your device locally first. There are two ways of doing this:

1. In Visual Studio Code (VSC)

   • Upon opening VSC, you will be met with a welcome tab with some actions you can do - If you are on a previous codespace, enter Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N to open a new window

   • Then, click Clone Git Repository, follow the instructions, and enter this URL

   • You can now continue with the rest of the instructions

2. In Terminal
   • If you can't find the Clone Git Repository, or don't have or use VSC, then follow this:
   • Navigate in your file manager to the folder you want this project to be in
   • Right-click the folder, and select open in terminal
   • Enter git clone https://github.com/Lebob-Robotics/Lebob-Website in the terminal, and it should have cloned
   • You can now navigate to Lebob-Website in your code editor and check if it has cloned
3. Before continuing, see dependencies to be able to run the website.

Terminal

• Most commands will be run in terminal
• To open terminal in VSC, enter Ctrl/Cmd + `
• You can also search up terminal as an app on your computer and it will show up.

Branches

• Before starting your work, make sure to create a new branch by running:

  git push origin -u <branch-name>```
  

• <branch-name> should be named in the format of <your-name>/<branch-scope>
• <branch-scope> should be a short, fully lowercase description of what your change is doing. e.g. fixing bugs

Commits

• After doing all your changes to the code, run:

  git commit -m "<your-commit-message>"
  git push origin <branch-name>
  

• This will commit (save) your work and put your changes onto the online branch.

Pull Requests

• When all your work is finished, and you want it to be merged to main, you can make a pull request (pr)
• To create a pr, go to the pull requests tab on our repository and click new pull request

• Name it something descriptive and appropiate and then click create
• Ping someone to review your code
• They can tell you to fix certain things by leaving a review which you can do by editing the code and commiting again.

Pushing

• Before you can push, someone else has to review your changes. (and accept them)
• A check will then run to see if your code works.
• If it doesn't work you will need to fix your code.
• Otherwise, you can click merge to push your code to main.
• To get the latest code from the repo, enter:

  git checkout <your-branch-name>
  git merge main
  

• If there are conflicts, click Resolve in merge editor, click the double checkmark in the incoming window, and click Complete merge
• Commit the merge and push to your branch

Dependencies

• node.js: Install (latest)
• pnpm: run npm install pnpm These are both needed to run the website.

Run (Development)

You can run this command if you want to test the code: pnpm run dev

Wait for it to say ✅ Starting... then enter the link it tells you to to see the website locally on your laptop. The changes you make will be updated as you save your work.
