# Developer Setup Guide
> Before anything else, please read the [[Contributing]] guidelines.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 22+
- npm
- Git
- A GitHub account
---
## 1. Fork & Clone the Repository
Go to the [TREK repository](https://github.com/mauriceboe/TREK) and click **Fork** to create your own copy.
Then clone your fork locally:
```bash
# Clone your fork, checking out the dev branch
git clone -b dev git@github.com:your-username/TREK.git
cd TREK
```
---
## 2. Configure Git Remotes
Add the original repository as `upstream` so you can pull in future updates:
```bash
git remote add upstream git@github.com:mauriceboe/TREK.git
```
You should now have two remotes:
| Remote | URL | Purpose |
|------------|----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| `origin` | `git@github.com:your-username/TREK.git` | Your fork — push changes here |
| `upstream` | `git@github.com:mauriceboe/TREK.git` | Main repo — pull updates from here |
---
## 3. Keep Your Fork Up to Date
Before starting any work, make sure your local `dev` branch is in sync with upstream:
```bash
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/dev # or: git merge upstream/dev
```
---
## 4. Create a Feature Branch
Working on a dedicated branch keeps your changes isolated and makes PRs easier to review:
```bash
git checkout -b fix/my-changes origin/dev
```
Branch naming conventions:
- `feat/short-description` for new features
- `fix/short-description` for bug fixes
- `chore/short-description` for maintenance tasks
---
## 5. Install Dependencies
Install dependencies for both the client and server:
```bash
# Client
cd client
npm i
# Server
cd ../server
npm i
```
---
## 6. Available Scripts
### Server (`/server`)
| Command | Description |
|----------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| `npm start` | Start the server (production) |
| `npm run dev` | Start the server in watch mode (tsx) |
| `npm test` | Run all tests |
| `npm run test:unit` | Run unit tests only |
| `npm run test:integration` | Run integration tests |
| `npm run test:ws` | Run WebSocket tests |
| `npm run test:watch` | Run tests in watch mode |
| `npm run test:coverage` | Run tests with coverage report |
### Client (`/client`)
| Command | Description |
|--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| `npm run dev` | Start the Vite dev server |
| `npm run build` | Build for production (runs icon generation first) |
| `npm run preview` | Preview the production build locally |
| `npm test` | Run all tests |
| `npm run test:unit` | Run unit tests only |
| `npm run test:integration` | Run integration tests |
| `npm run test:watch` | Run tests in watch mode |
| `npm run test:coverage` | Run tests with coverage report |
---
## 7. Commit & Push Your Changes
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "fix: describe your change"
# Push to your fork's dev branch
git push origin fix/my-changes:dev
# Or if working directly on dev
git push origin dev
```
Then open a Pull Request from your fork to `mauriceboe/TREK` targeting the `dev` branch. If your PR only modifies files under `wiki/`, it is exempt from branch enforcement and may target any branch.
---
## Tips
- Always branch off from an up-to-date `dev` — run `git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/dev` before starting new work.
- Run tests before pushing: `npm run test` in both `client/` and `server/`.
- Follow the commit message conventions described in the [[Contributing]] guidelines.
