Setting Up the project locally

To install the project you need to have node and npm

1. Fork the project, clone your fork:

   # Clone your fork
   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/readme-md-generator.git
   
   # Navigate to the newly cloned directory
   cd readme-md-generator

2. Your environment needs to be running node version >= 9.3.0 and npm version >= 5.5.0.

3. from the root of the project: npm to install all dependencies

   • make sure you have latest npm version

4. from the root of the project: npm start to run the cli.

Tip: Keep your master branch pointing at the original repository and make pull requests from branches on your fork. To do this, run:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/kefranabg/readme-md-generator.git
git fetch upstream
git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/master master

This will add the original repository as a "remote" called "upstream," then fetch the git information from that remote, then set your local master branch to use the upstream master branch whenever you run git pull. Then you can make all of your pull request branches based on this master branch. Whenever you want to update your version of master, do a regular git pull.

Submitting a Pull Request

Please go through existing issues and pull requests to check if somebody else is already working on it.

Also, make sure to run the tests and lint the code before you commit your changes.

npm run test
npm run lint
