Before installation, please make sure you have already installed the following tools:

• Git
• NodeJs

🛠️ Installation Steps

1. Fork the project here

2. Clone the project

     git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/good-first-issue-finder.git
   

3. Navigate to the project directory cd good-first-issue-finder

4. Install dependencies with npm install

5. If you encountered error like engine not compatible with your version on node/npm

   Upgrade your node version from Here

   OR

   By following commands from Here

   We highly recommend installing the current LTS version of node.

6. Create a .env file in the root of the project. Then add your GitHub Oauth values (see example in .env.example file)

Note: You need to set up an Oauth App(not GitHub App) in Github to get the required values. See the documentation here. The Callback Url needs to point to the endpoint of the baseURL the app should run on: http://localhost:5173/api/authentication/callback. Also, never commit the .env file, it is ignored by Git.

7. Run npm run dev

Alternatively, skip all the steps by using

Note: You still need to do the 6th step as defined earlier even if you are using Gitpod to run the app.

🧪 Testing

We're using Playwright for running End-To-End Tests. For running the tests you would need to install the playwright dependencies by running

npx playwright install --with-deps
