Challenge 00 - Prerequisites - Ready, Set, GO!
Introduction
Thank you for participating in the Modern Development and DevOps with GitHub What The Hack. Over the next series of challenges you’ll create a new repository for the source code, configure some common DevOps processes, and write some code. But before we get started, let’s make sure we’ve got everything setup.
Prerequisites
During this hack, you will be using features which will allow you to code and contribute to the project without having to install tools locally. As a result, you’ll only need to ensure you have the following:
- GitHub Account for developing on and managing the project.
- Azure Subscription for deploying the application.
Description
The shelter has an application already created by a vendor they wish to use as the foundation for their website. The project currently resides on GitHub as a template. The first step is for you to obtain the source code and create a repository on GitHub to maintain a separate copy. The changes you make will not be merged back to the original application.
The project is a Next.js/React project using MongoDB. It is based on the Next.js MongoDB example.
IMPORTANT: This hackathon does not require experience with JavaScript, React or Next.js.
Success Criteria
- You have a copy of the existing application in a repository in your account/organization
- You have not created a fork of the existing repository
