How to run zappycode locally and contribute to it?

DISCLAIMER: Following steps are for WINDOWS and Anaconda installed but procedure for different setups is similar.

1. There must be a Fork button in the top right corner of Github page. This creates a new copy of my demo repo under your GitHub user account with a URL like: https://github.com//zappycode-django

2. Next, clone the repo by opening the Anaconda prompt on your computer and running the command: git clone https://github.com/<YourUserName>/zappycode-django

3. Once the repo is cloned, you need to do two things: Create a new branch by issuing the command: git checkout -b new_branch (name it whatever you like. Here, it is new_branch) Create a new remote for the upstream repo with the command: git remote add upstream https://github.com/<your username>/zappycode-django

4. Make a virtual environment using- conda create --name zappycodeenv python=3.6.9 If virtual environment isn't activated automatically, enter: conda activate zappycodeenv

5. Install requirements:- The Pipfile and Pipfile.lock contain dependencies. Read pipfiles to know how to use them to install dependecies. If that doesn't work, do as directed below:

   0. If you don't have pipenv, install it using pip install pipenv
   1. Enter: pipenv lock -r (You need to be present in the zappycode directory!)
   2. When it says "Successfully created virtual environment!" copy and paste Everything below virtualenv location in a text file and save it in the zappycode project cloned folder by the name of requirements.txt. 3)Enter: pip install -r requirements.txt in shell.

   Run the server using python manage.py runserver, open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ or localhost:8000

6. Now you can make changes to the code.

7. Push it! git push -u origin new_branch

8. Once you push the changes to your repo, the Compare & pull request button will appear in GitHub. Click it!

9. Add some info about the changes you made and click 'Create pull request' button.

10. Done!
