Clone & Setup

Before you start this guide: You must have completed 02 — Prerequisites.

In this step, we will download the code to your computer and open it in VS Code so we are ready to inject our API keys later.

Download the Code

1.1 Open your terminal.
1.2 We are going to download the code to your desktop so it is easy to find. Type this and press Enter:

cd Desktop

1.3 Now, download the code using Git. Paste this command and press Enter:

git clone https://github.com/shashankatthaluri/shipclawfast-starter-kit.git

(Note: Because this is a private repository, you MUST be logged into the exact same GitHub account that you provided when purchasing the starter kit, otherwise Git will block the download and you will not get updates!)

1.4 A new folder called shipclawfast-starter-kit will appear on your desktop. Go inside that folder in your terminal by typing:

cd shipclawfast-starter-kit

Tick the checkbox if you completed the step successfully.

Open in VS Code

2.1 Now that you are inside the folder in your terminal, type this magical command and press Enter:

code .

Note: The code . command tells VS Code to open the current folder.

2.2 VS Code will open. On the left side of the screen, you will see all your files!
2.3 If VS Code asks "Do you trust the authors of the files in this folder?", check the box and click "Yes, I trust the authors".

Tick the checkbox if you completed the step successfully.

Prepare your Secret Files

We need to prepare the file where you will paste your secret passwords later.

3.1 In your code editor, look at the list of files on the left side.
3.2 Open the apps/web folder and find the file named .env.example.
3.3 Right-click it and choose Rename. Change its name to exactly .env (Do not forget the dot at the beginning!)
3.4 Now, click on the main root folder outside of apps, right-click in the empty space, and click "New File". Name this one .env as well.

You now have a blank .env file in the main folder to hold all your cloud credentials securely. Leave it blank for now! We will fill it up over the next few steps.

Tick the checkbox if you completed the step successfully.

Checklist — Before moving on

You have downloaded the code folder to your Desktop
You have the folder open in VS Code
You have created a blank .env file in the main folder

When every checkbox above is ticked, move on to 04 — Supabase Setup.
