Welcome to UniCollab - Where Collaboration Fuels Innovation!

Introduction

UniCollab is not just a platform; it's a community-driven ecosystem that empowers students to showcase their projects, collaborate with peers, and dive deep into the world of innovation. Whether you're looking to share your latest project, explore cutting-edge creations, or simply connect with like-minded individuals, UniCollab is the place to be.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

First, clone the UniCollab repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/SUGAM-ARORA/UniCollab.git

2. Install Dependencies

Navigate to the project directory and install the necessary dependencies:

cd UniCollab
npm install

3. Start the Development Server

Launch the development server and explore UniCollab:

npm start

Open your browser and visit http://localhost:3000 to experience UniCollab firsthand.

4. Test the app

Launch the test runner in the interactive watch mode:

npm test

5. Build the app

Build the app for production to the build folder:

npm build

This command builds the app for production, bundling React in production mode and optimizing the build for the best performance. The build is minified and the filenames include hashes. Your app is now ready to be deployed!

6. Eject the app

If you're not satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices and want full control over them, you can eject at any time:

npm eject

Note: This is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can't go back. This command will remove the single-build dependency from your project, copying all the configuration files and transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc.) right into your project so you have full control over them. All commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. It's important to note that you don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However, we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.

Key Features

  • Project Showcase: Upload your projects and browse through a diverse range of creations from fellow students. Like and comment to appreciate and provide feedback.

  2. Clone the Repository:

    • If you haven't cloned the repository yet, you can do so by clicking on the "File" menu and selecting "Clone Repository."
    • Choose the repository from the list of repositories on GitHub and clone it to your local machine.

  3. Switch to the Correct Branch:

    • Ensure you are on the branch that you want to submit a pull request for.
    • If you need to switch branches, you can do so by clicking on the "Current Branch" dropdown menu and selecting the desired branch.

  4. Make Changes: Make your changes to the code or files in the repository using your preferred code editor.

  5. Commit Changes:

    • In GitHub Desktop, you'll see a list of the files you've changed. Check the box next to each file you want to include in the commit.
    • Enter a summary and description for your changes in the "Summary" and "Description" fields, respectively. Click the "Commit to " button to commit your changes to the local branch.

  6. Push Changes to GitHub: After committing your changes, click the "Push origin" button in the top right corner of GitHub Desktop to push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub.

  7. Create a Pull Request:

  • Go to the GitHub website and navigate to your fork of the repository.
  • You should see a button to "Compare & pull request" between your fork and the original repository. Click on it.

  1. Review and Submit:

    • On the pull request page, review your changes and add any additional information, such as a title and description, that you want to include with your pull request.
    • Once you're satisfied, click the "Create pull request" button to submit your pull request.

  2. Wait for Review: Your pull request will now be available for review by the project maintainers. They may provide feedback or ask for changes before merging your pull request into the main branch of the repository.
