Complete Flutter Course Bundle - eCommerce App

This is the official repo for this course:

• Complete Flutter Course Bundle

This will include a full-stack eCommerce app using Flutter & Firebase:

A Flutter web preview of the app can be found here:

• Flutter Web Demo

Project Setup

To clone the repo for the first time and open it in VSCode, run this:

git clone https://github.com/bizz84/complete-flutter-course.git
cd complete-flutter-course
code .

This will checkout the main branch which contains the latest code.

But at various points in the course, I'll ask you to checkout a specific branch name, so you can follow along with the right code, at the right time.

And to prevent any conflicts, you may need to reset your local changes:

git reset --hard HEAD
git checkout <branch-name>
