Getting Started

Getting Started

Before you begin coding, you’ll need to set up your development environment correctly. Follow the detailed instructions here:

• Setting Up Your Coding Environment: Covers prerequisites, tool installation (Node.js, Expo CLI, Git, etc.), repository cloning, and initial configuration.

Development Workflow

We follow a standard workflow using Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Understanding this process is crucial.

• GitHub Workflow: Explains our branching strategy, commit message conventions, pull request process, and code reviews.

Building & Distributing the App

Once you have code changes ready, you’ll need to build the application for testing and distribution.

• Building and Distribution: Contains specific instructions for creating Android and iOS builds using Expo Application Services (EAS) and distributing them via the respective app stores (Google Play Store, Apple App Store).

Deploying Documentation (Cloudflare Pages)

This documentation site is built using Hugo and automatically deployed via Cloudflare Pages.

• Deploying the Docs: Explains the automated deployment from GitHub to Cloudflare Pages and how access is secured via GitHub OAuth.
