Before you start, you'll have to fork the repo, make an SSH key, clone your repo onto your system, and then you're good to go! If any of that sounds hard, don't fret - I made a guide so that things can be a little bit easier if you're new to programming.

Here are all the tips that you're going to need when running this for the first time...

git clone https://github.com/l33tdaniel/ClassGame.git

How do I make sure I'm on the most recent version? This one is a little bit different. Remember - your repo might be running on a different version than the main repo.

If you want to pull the most recent version from YOUR repo, type in

git pull [email protected]:(username)/(name_of_repo)

How do I push my most recent commit up to GitHub? Go to your terminal, navigate to the folder the project is stored under, type

git add *

git commit -m"This is where your message will go"

This ^ allows you to name your commit. This helps me to determine whether I want to accept or deny your commit. Now type

git push [email protected]:(username)/(name_of_repo)

If you're bored and want something new to explore, I would recommend testing to see if nodemon works for you! It can be super helpful for running something where you don't have to start and stop with every save.

Here's the script for if you want to run nodemon while editing the code.
