JAM

This is something new.

Installation for Dev

1. Install NodeJS.

2. Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/TheBrenny/JavaAutoMark.git
cd JavaAutoMark
git checkout develop
npm install --save-dev

3. Copy-pasta _sample.env as .env (so you have 2 files)
4. Open .env and change:

MYSQL_URL=mysql://user:pass@jam/jam

to

MYSQL_URL=<the link I sent in chat>

Running for Dev

1. Make sure you're on the develop branch
   1. git checkout develop
2. If you're using VSCode, click the debug tab on the left (probably the 3rd tab, the one with the bug and Run arrow)
3. Click the green arrow next to gulp debug or just run
   1. Choosing gulp debug will make sure any changes you make in the code will be automatically updated in your browser. This has the cost of taking a bit longer to start up and using a bit more memory. This might also whinge with an error, just click Debug anyway.
   2. Choosing just run will make the server start up fastest, and use less memory. First time running? Use this!
4. If it's your first time running the app, you'll be prompted to install some configuration options.
   1. Just follow the bouncing ball
5. Open up localhost:80 (or localhost:81 for browser sync)
6. Log in with admin:admin

Making changes

1. Make sure you're on the develop branch:
   1. git checkout develop
2. Run git pull to get the latest changes (or press whatever button in your IDE to get the latest changes)
3. Make your edits to the code
4. Run git commit -m "your message here" to commit your changes - or do it in your IDE's UI.
5. Run git push to push your changes to everyone. -- Or do this in your IDE UI.
   1. I actually don't know what happens if 2 people push different commits at the same time, so we'll find out!
