How To Contribute?

Cloning the project

1. Fork this repo
2. Run git clone https://github.com/<YOUR_NICK>/codedamn.com
3. Create secrets.ts file in the root directory (i.e. with index.ts file)
4. Paste the following contents in it:

export const reCAPTCHAsecret = "SOME_RANDOM_KEY"

5. Run npm i in the folder
6. This project uses debug module. To show all debug messages, in your terminal, write: export DEBUG="cd:*" and hit enter.
7. Make sure to start your mongodb server by writing sudo mongod in your terminal if your mongodb server is not running. (Check by writing mongo in terminal, if you get mongo shell, then your mongodb is running)
8. I recommend using Robo3T Mongo Client for GUI working with DB.
9. Once everything is done, run nodemon command which will pick up configs from supplied nodemon.json file and setup live reloading for .ts code.
