You should have a GitHub repository already created, in which your project will live after you're finished cloning and initilizing the project.

Visit this page to create a new repository in your account:
https://github.com/new

To begin using this repository please run the following command.

npm install

Running the following command will prompt you to enter some information. This well setup this folder to now point at the repository that you enter while filling in the prompt.

$ npm run init

You will be prompted for the following things:

1. Project Name: The name you want to call the project
2. GitHub username, and GitHub repository: Your GitHub username and the name of the repository you created to hold this project.

Ex. hackeryou/tomatoproject

3. Author: Your name.

Once you've completed the prompts, you'll be shown what the project package file will look like. An example is listed below. Simply type y or yes to complete the process.

Is this OK? (yes)

After this process has been completed, you'll notice that your project folder package.json file has had its git configuration set to your GitHub repository.

The final step of the process is to run the newly created script that the initialization process made. This script is found in the scripts object of the package.json file, with the key git:remote:set.

Note: This script expects the existence of an origin remote.

To run the script, type the following in your command line:

npm run git:remote:set

In the event that an origin remote has not been set up already for your project, the alternate newly created script can be run to create a brand new remote:

npm run git:remote:create

Ultimately, you can run the following command in order to ensure that your remotes are set up in the way that you expect:

git remote -v

Start API server

$ npm run start:server

Start Webpack Server

$ npm run start:client
