Forking (on same or different GitHub account)

  1. Create new empty repository on GitHub (or whatever)
  2. git clone https://github.com/nick-ng/robot-race.git <new-repo> && cd <new-repo>
  3. Change robot-race to whatever you want and change my name to your name or something.
  4. git add . && git commit -m "anything. this will get squashed in the next step"
  5. git reset $(git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -m "forked https://github.com/nick-ng/robot-race")
  6. git remote remove origin
  7. git remote add origin <url-of-repo-you-made>
  8. git push --set-upstream origin main
  9. Change branch permissions etc.

Deploying

  1. ./build.sh or docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
  2. ./serve.sh or PORT=<desired-port> docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Deploying to Heroku

  1. Change .github\workflows\deploy-front-end.yml so the API_ORIGIN is your Heroku App's url e.g. API_ORIGIN=https://${{secrets.HEROKU_APP_NAME}}.herokuapp.com
  2. Create an empty Heroku App. Note the app's name
  3. Get your Heroku API key from https://dashboard.heroku.com/account
  4. On GitHub repo for your fork, go to the Settings and click on Secrets > Actions
  5. Add 3 new repository secrets
    • HEROKU_API_KEY: API key from above
    • HEROKU_APP_NAME: App name from above
    • HEROKU_EMAIL: Email address of your Heroku account
  6. Push a commit to the main branch
  7. Manually run the "Deploy Back-end" GitHub action

If you deploy to Heroku often, you can un-comment the "push" trigger in .github\workflows\deploy-back-end.yml

Unit Tests

Create a /spec directory next to the files you want to test then create a file <name-of-file-to-test>.spec.cjs in that.
