Setup static files on Github
The following steps will get the static HTML files copied to your own repository on github and get them copied to your local machine for development:
1. Build a Github repository from a template:
- Log in to your github.com account: https://github.com/login
- Navigate to https://github.com/theGove/three-tier/generate
- Choose a repository name such as "three-tier"
- Click the "Create repository from Template" button near the bottom of the page
2. Make a local copy of your front-end files
- At the end of Step 1 (above), you should be showing the Github Repository you just created.
- Click the green "Code" button and copy the https clone link that gets displayed. It starts with "https://github.com".
- Open a command prompt Enter the following command, replacing <repo link> with the https clone link that is on the clipboard
git clone <repo link>
This will create a local folder with all the files from the Github repository.
- Change directories to the folder just created (it has the same name as the Github repository you created in step 1) by entering the following command, replacing <repo name> with the name of the folder just created.
cd <repo name>
3. Open VS code to edit the local copy of the repository
- Enter the following command
code .
This will open VS code ready to edit your project.
