Sweet Potato 🍠

Sweet potato development

To get started developing on Sweet potato you need to pull down this repo, peel a new website (for the purposes testing your development code) and set it up to use your local version instead of the published version.

This is a relatively simple proposition. Here are the basic steps to getting set up for sweet potato development:

  1. Clone Sweet Potato (this repo);

  2. cd into sweet-potato/cooker

  3. Install deps

    $> npm install

  4. Link the package

    $> npm link

  5. Peel a new project somewhere

    $> npx @wethegit/sweet-potato-peeler dev-site --template https://github.com/wethegit/bootstrap/tree/main

  6. cd into project and install depts

    $> cd dev-site
$> npm install

  7. Remove the cooker module files from the dev-site project

    rm -rf node_modules/@wethegit/sweet-potato-cooker

  8. link sweet-potato to this project

    npm link @wethegit/sweet-potato-cooker

Now, any changes that you make to the cooker will be reflected when you run the dev-site project.
