Virtual Pet Mobile App

Running the current flutter project (assuming VSCODE)

Getting + setting up project in local repo:

1. clone the repo into your local workspace
2. in your terminal, navigate to virtual-pet/front-end/virtual_pet
3. run flutter pub get to install all project libraries

Running the app (assuming macos & vscode):

⚠️

• make sure you have the VSCode flutter extension installed
• flutter itself is setup in your computer

Steps:

1. go to main.dart
2. there should be a Run button above void main()
   • If you have a mac, click enable macos when a popup appears after clicking Run
   • If you have windows, click enable android
   • If you select the wrong option, delete the generated windows/web/macos/ios/android folder and try again from step 1
3. go back to main.dart and click the Run button above void main()

General workflow notes

• be sure to run git pull while on main to get the latest code
• then run git checkout -b <your-branch-name-here> to switch to a new branch
• make your changes on this new branch
• once you are done making your changes, be sure to run flutter analyze to lint your code and fix any linting errors
• commit any changes made from fixing any linting errors
• switch back to main to get any new changes that occurred while you were working on your changes
• switch back to <your-branch-name-here> and run git rebase main
• push your branch to GitHub
• open a pull request and assign two people to review your work
