Working on freesewing.dev	developers	Shows you how to setup your development environment to work on freesewing.dev, our website for developers

freesewing.dev is built from a package in our monorepo. You will need the following setup and installed before you begin: Node, lerna and yarn.

To get started, checkout the repository:

git@github.com:freesewing/freesewing.git

You should check out your own fork so you can write your changes to it. Update the command above with the path of your own fork on Github

Enter the newly installed repository and run kickstart:

cd freesewing
yarn kickstart

After that completes, navigate to the freesewing.dev package directory:

cd freesewing/packages/freesewing.dev

Now install the dependencies:

yarn install

This will take a while. When it's done, run the following commands to build and then start your development environment:

yarn prebuild
yarn dev

Once the command builds the site, you can open your browser on http://localhost:3002 to see the site.

As you make changes, they will automatically be loaded into your browser.
