🔨 Setup and Run

Setup local repo

Let's setup the backend server on your local machine.

  npm i @nestjs/cli -g     
  

1. Fork repo

Fork this repo to your GitHub account

2. Clone repo

Clone the forked repo to your local machine

git clone https://github.com/<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>/edu-server.git

Navigate to project directory

cd edu-server

3. Install Dependencies

npm install

4. Setup firebase admin SDK for development

• To use the Firebase Admin SDK in the project, create a new firebase project using firebase console.
• After creating a project, go to project settings.

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-server.git

2. Verify the new upstream repository you've specified for your fork using git remote -v

origin  https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-server.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-server.git (push)
upstream        https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-server.git (fetch)
upstream        https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-server.git (push)
