2. To Start the development server run

node app.js

Or if you have nodemon installed on your system , run

nodemon app.js

3. Click here to see the backend server runing in the browser OR navigate to

http://localhost:3000

Here's a quick run down on how to get started with open source, first of all let's know some basic terminologies:

• Git: is a versioning system that let's you store your code and code history on your local computer preventing loses and allowing sharing of that code
• Github: is a server that let's you store the history in a database
• Open Source: A project is said to be open sourced if you can see the code on GitHub
• Fork: This is a copy that you make of a project on GitHub, it gets added to your repositories
• Repository: A project on GitHub is called a repository
• Pull Request: This is a fix for an issue proposed to be done in a project, this consists of you editing a file in the project.
• Issue: An issue is a change that should be done in a project, can be a bug, a new feature or a suggestion to a project
• Branch: A branch is a new workspace derived from the default workspace(main or master), it allows you to work on something without affecting the original code.
• Star: When you star a repositiory, it gets saved at your profile and you can easily re-visit it later.

Now you know some basic terms, let's get into how to get started with some resources to let you understand open source better:

• Crash Course to Git and Github - Video
• A complete Guide to Open Source - Video
• Guide to Open Source - Article

I heartily welcome any and all contributions that match our engineering standards! 🙌

That being said, this codebase isn't your typical open source project because it's not a library or package with a limited scope—it's our entire product.

• Contributions make the open source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create.
• Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.
• Check out our contribution guidelines for more information.

1. Create a new branch

git checkout -b YourBranchName

2. Add it to staging area

git add <path to the file you worked on>

3. Commit your changes with

git commit -m "message"

4. Push your changes

git push

• No console.logs in any file: We use the debug module across the codebase to log debugging information in development only. Never commit a file that contains a console.log as CI will fail your build. The only exceptions are errors, which you can log, but you have to use console.error to be explicit about it
• Code reviews: All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose.

If you found a technical bug on the website or have ideas for features we should implement, the issue tracker is the best place to share your ideas. (click here to open a new issue)

• If you find a bug on Project and open a PR that fixes it we'll review it as soon as possible to ensure it matches our engineering standards.
• If you want to implement a new feature, open an issue first to discuss what it'd look like .
• If you want to contribute but are unsure to start, we have a "good first issue" label which is applied to newcomer-friendly issues and pick something you like!
• Want to fix a bug or implement an agreed-upon feature? Great, jump to the local setup instructions!

Thanks a lot for spending your time helping Top_Secrets to grow. Thanks a lot! Keep rocking 🍻 Also Give it a Star 🌟, If you loved contributing to the project.
