how to contribute

  1. Head to the firebase console and make a new project (the project name doesnt really matter, but just name it monkey-type). You dont need to enable analytics for it.
  2. Install the Firebase Command Line Interface, and use firebase login to log in to the same google account as you just used to make the project.
  3. Git clone the project and make sure to rename .firebaserc_example to .firebaserc and change the project name inside to your firebase project name you just created.
  4. Make sure you use a SCSS compiler. For VSCode I recommend Easy Sass or Live Sass Compiler extension.
  5. Run firebase serve to start a local server on port 5000. Use ctrl+c to stop it.
  6. Make sure to install Prettier. Its a code formatter, and it will make sure that we avoid any whitespace or formatting issues when merging code.

That should be it. If you run into any problems, let me know.
