Adding Git and NPM Start

Lecture 284:- Adding Git and NPM Start

To add Git to your project, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the root directory of your project.
2. Initialize a new Git repository by running the command git init.
3. Create a new file called .gitignore in the root directory of your project. This file should contain a list of files and directories that you want Git to ignore. For example, you can add the following lines to ignore the node_modules directory:

Copy code

node_modules/

1. Add all files in your project to the Git repository by running the command git add ..
2. Commit the changes by running the command git commit -m "Initial commit".

To add an npm start script to your package.json file, follow these steps:

1. Open your package.json file.
2. Find the scripts section and add a new line with the following code:

jsonCopy code

"start": "node app.js"

Replace app.js with the name of your main server file if it is different.

1. Save the package.json file. You can now start your server by running the command npm start in your terminal or command prompt.
