Intro

Congrats! You have successfully completed this guide:

The "Simplified" Guide to Setting Up Dev Environment. (Mac)

Difficulty: (Intermediate-Advanced) Intro Ever wanted to “hack” CodeCombat and help contribute in making CodeCombat better? (There are two types of hacking, white-hat hacking, and black-hat hacking. White hat hacking is to help fix problems and stop black-hat hackers, and black-hat hacking is malicious hacking/cheating.) Do you find the current guide way too confusing? I’ve simplified the current guide so you can understand it. Use Node version 10. Guide Download…

It’s time to start “hacking”…

Steps

You’ve probably got the hang of the terminal and want to do more. Here’s how to start:

1. Go to GitHub and log into your account.
2. Go to the CodeCombat Repository and fork it.
   
   
3. You should have a “clone” of CodeCombat’s repository, and it’s probably named something like: username/codecombat-1. (See my forked repo)
4. Go to terminal.
5. Type in git clone https://github.com/username/codecombat-1 (Replace username with your GitHub one.)
6. Run cd codecombat-1
7. Run npm install
8. Run npm run proxy
   (Optional) Create a new terminal window(Don’t close current one) and type in
   cd codecombat-1
   then
   npm run webpack -- --watch
9. Go to localhost:3000. It should be running and ready for you to start “hacking” CodeCombat.
10. Wow! You are a fast learner! Great job! You can now start changing files in your “forked repository” and update the repository in Git to see your changes in action!

Have fun!
