Setup

Navigate to your desired directory and run this command:

# clone the remote repository into your machine
git clone https://github.com/LOK-PLOK/Space-Invaders.git
# change current working directory to the project
cd Space-Invaders
# get the newest version of the remote repo
git pull
# open the current directory in your preferred text editor
code .

Contribution Conventions

Here's an example commit flow with git:

# sync latest code from the remote repository
git pull
# create a new branch based on the feature you want to work on
git checkout -b <new_branch>
# after making some changes, add and commit your work
git add .
git commit -m "category: do something"
# push your changes and make a pull request on GitHub afterwards so that I can review them
git push origin HEAD

The syntax for making git commit -m <insert_message_here> messages should follow this syntax for consistency:

"category: do something"

1. do something must be written in imperative tone
2. category must fall under these categories;
   • feat: introduces a new feature or component to the codebase
   • style: changes a layout, stylesheet, UI look of a certain component
   • fix: patches a bug
   • docs: any addition pertaining to documentation (comments, README.md, etc)
   • nit: small change
   • BREAKING CHANGE: a change that dramatically changes a pre-existing system - possibly leading to bugs to be patched
