Setting Up the Repo
Start here. This will explain downloading and opening the repository
Front End Repository
Overview
The UX Team uses Bitbucket for git source control. Git helps us manage projects and organize code changes to minimize conflicts and stay on track. We also use Sourcetree, a GUI that visualizes commits, merges, and branches—making it easy to track project progress.
Setup
To set up the repo on your local machine, contact Randy Thomas or Tim Casey for Bitbucket access.
Prerequisites:
Sourcetree: Sourcetree | Free Git GUI for Mac and Windows
Installation Steps
- Log in to Bitbucket | Git solution for teams using Jira with your Atlassian account.
- In the top navigation menu, go to the "Repositories" tab.
- Click on the front end theme repo: "EF-Custom-Themes-LFS"
- Click "Clone" in the top right of the main panel:
- Click "Clone in Sourcetree"
- Select "Clone" in the opened Sourcetree window. Take note of the destination path set here. You can customize it if you’d like or leave it as is - you’ll need to know where the files are stored once you’re ready to access it in VS Code.
- After the repository finishes downloading (this may take a while depending on your internet speed), you should see the repo "ef-custom-themes-lfs" on the main Sourcetree page.
Set up the Repository in VS Code
To start developing, you'll need to configure VS Code. Follow the guide below to understand our IDE setup and instructions:
