[Ritukrish]

Hi there!!!
My name is Ritu from India. Can you please tell me what to do next to secure beta swags?

[VictorCodebase]

Thanks @juliamuiruri4;
Just to confirm I've really understood what will be happening; will we be creating static websites of our choice using the Contoso Real Estate website as a sort of "base". Contributing to the Contoso project by creating PRs from the issues can then earn you a contributors badge though not a requirement?
Did I get the instructions right?

[juliamuiruri4]

Thanks @VictorCodebase for the question - we'll get back to you soon. Tagging @anfibiacreativa

[mfatima05]

[DannyK05]

Hi, I'm Kolade.
I'm new to contributing on GitHub . I want to work on an issue, do I need to clone the entire repo on my computer .

[juliamuiruri4]

Hello @DannyK05 - That's a fantastic question.

Fortunately, the repo is configured to run in a GitHub Codespace, a virtual environment on the browser, hence no need to clone or install anything on your local PC. You can activate Codespaces for free through the GitHub education pack

[DannyK05]

Thanks

[AhsanAmi]

good

[Nyaluogo]

Hi, I am Edwin. Is an azure account a must for this?

[juliamuiruri4]

Hi @Nyaluogo - if you need to deploy to static web apps, you'd need an Azure subscription, otherwise, there are instructions to deploy on GitHub pages or simply set up the development environment without deploying anything

See deployment guidelines

Please let me know if this helps

[chikipack]

Hi, I have a question about the "Environment settings" (https://docusaurus.io/docs/deployment#environment-settings).
for the deployment in my github pages

and my question is, where can I configure these environment variables, is it in a file, or is it some command in the terminal?

[nitya]

Hey @chikipack - thanks for trying this out!!

Checking ..

Just to check that I have the right context:

1. You are looking at the Deploy Website for the Developer Guide section of the docs
2. You already tried the local preview to validate that you have the website working locally
3. You now want to deploy the Developer Guide (website) to GitHub Pages on your fork.

Use GitHub Actions to Deploy

1. The environment settings are useful only if you want to manually deploy the website. See their example with this command GIT_USER=<GITHUB_USERNAME> yarn deploy - showing how env var can be used at command line.
2. However, in our docs we recommend setting up for automated deployment with GitHub Actions with commits.

This takes 3 steps:

• update docusaurus.config.js to have the projectName and organizationName reflect your fork.
• add a .github/workflows/deploy.yml that automatically builds/deploys this on commits
• configure publishing source to "Deploy from a branch" and select gh-pages (/root) as the option.
• Now when you commit changes to your repo (personal fork) it should automatically rebuild the developer guide website and deploy it to GitHub pages.

🎉 | Your GitHub Pages site should be building/deploying automatically now

My Deployment (For Reference)

• I created a personal fork of the project here
• I updated my docusaurus.config.js file (see "deploy related--" section)
• I added this docs-website workflow file under .github/workflows/ to automate.
• I visited the Settings > Pages section of my fork on GitHub and
  • set Build and Deployment "Source" to deploy from a branch.
  • set the branch to be my gh-pages build (see below)
    
• I committed changes in my repo which triggered the workflow to build and deploy the site. You can track the Actions progress on GitHub to see if any errors occurred.

🚨 | Keep In Mind

Since the 2 file changes (docusaurus.config.js and .github/workflow/docs-website.yml) you make are local to you and will not be in the original. If you "pull" new updates from the original later, you need to make sure you merge them correctly into your personal repo so they don't override those changes.

Do let me know if you were able to resolve the issue and I will update the docs to point to this for others who have similar questions

[master-coder-ayush]

@juliamuiruri4 Hey, Julia I have opened issue #320 . I will be working on this issue. Kindly check if it can be accepted.

[Surya-V-28]

Hi guys, I have facing some issues with opening the code spaces its not working at all , any idea why its

[Surya-V-28]

No, its not working , I tried it @john0isaac
any other way or may be i have used the 30hrs ?

[GmausDev]

Hi @Surya-V-28 ! ,
Maybe but lets see!.

First take a look to this page https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-codespaces/viewing-your-github-codespaces-usage , there you can see if u reach the max hours , like this.

If u reach the maximum you can try operate locally or maybe @john0isaac or @anfibiacreativa had another idea , by the way first can we take a look and see if u reach the capacity.

Remember feel free of reach any helpers as @elbruno or @juliamuiruri4

[Surya-V-28]

@GmausDev it is working now
there was some internet issues for my side i guess so , but now I am facing the new issues can you check it. when i give the command ""Npm start"

any hints would be helpful

[GmausDev]

Sup @Surya-V-28
Have you do this ?=

$ cd packages/docs/website # Set working directory
$ npm install # Install dependencies
$ npm run start # Run dev server, launch preview

Maybe the working directory is not setted properly.

[Surya-V-28]

yeah, it working now properly sometimes only it has issues, thanks for the hints

[juliamuiruri4]

As we approach the close of the JS on Azure Global Hack Together 😃...

Hey, everyone 👋,

First off, Big thank you to everyone who has been continually active on this discussion with questions and collaboration ideas 💡. We have seen some incredible contributions (Issues raised, PRs merged etcetera) already from all of you. As you continue working on your contributions, remember to give the Repo a star ⭐ to celebrate the amazing work done by the project maintainers

Second, here is a brief recap of the last 14 days of this hack together for your reference:. Note that all speaker material & resources are found in this repo

▶️We started with an exciting Opening Keynote from 2 incredible pros part of the team behind this great Open-source project, @nitya and @anfibiacreativa and you can watch the Keynote 📽️ here and read about it on this blog post

▶️We then had an exciting deep dive into GitHub Copilot & GitHub Codespaces from our very own Cloud Advocate, @abrilurena and you can watch the session 📽️ here

▶️Next up, 2 amazing advocates and contributors, @glaucia86 and @cyz did an amazing session breaking down the frontend pieces for the Contoso portal app. Be sure to catch up on the recording 📽️here

▶️Could we talk about Frontend and not mention a thing or 2 on the backend? Of course not! The next 2 sessions focused on how you can build your Serverless backends, (and no, 'serverless backend does not mean no servers' 😜) using Azure Functions and an interesting presentation on Azure Cosmos DB and its benefits
To dive deeper into Functions, check out this post on migrating to v4 of the Node.js programming model for Azure Functions

🚀🚀Lastly, we will have a great session tomorrow, Aug 31 - Climax of the Hack together, to learn how we can get started using Azure OpenAI Service to build intelligent JavaScript apps. Be sure to RSVP for this one. I can already imagine the brilliant contributions that you will submit incorporating AI into the Contoso project

But wait, this is not the end🕺💃, we have some exciting opportunities coming up 🚀🚀 - Stay tuned for more on this coming soon!

[john0isaac]

Hello @anfibiacreativa, @sinedied, @juliamuiruri4.
Can someone please asset us on fixing the #253?
Me and @thestarsahil have been trying to install Angular Libraries for days with no luck.

I have tried the following libraries:

• @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap
• @coreui/angular
• @ngmodule/material-carousel

Each library either breaks the application conflicting with apolo library or doesn't work due to incompatibility.
We need a carousel library that is compatible or guidance on how to configure the listed libraries above.
Thanks in advance.

[iqbal-nadiadi]

Hello Folks!! Forked the repo from main branch in order to familiarize myself and to do initial project & codebase walk-through. Looking forward to reviewing the submissions and test out proposed features, and continue follow-up post-event collaboration after 31st August.

Hello Folks!! Forked the repo from main branch in order to familiarize myself and to do initial project & codebase walk-through. Looking forward to reviewing the submissions and test out proposed features, and continue follow-up post-event collaboration after 31st August. Initiated GitHub Codespaces and created pull request to apply automatic changes made to forked branch.

[juliamuiruri4]

Welcome @iqbal-nadiadi - looking forward to your contribution

[error9098x]

Hello @juliamuiruri4 my 2 PR have been successfully merged, can you please add them in the HackTogether Projects section.
It's #327 and #287

[juliamuiruri4]

Absolutely! Thank you for your contribution @error9098x

[VictorCodebase]

Hey @juliamuiruri4 ; Will submissions that did not get merged before the deadline still be merged?

[juliamuiruri4]

@VictorCodebase - Great question!
All PRs opened before 31st will still be reviewed & merged for sure. We had a couple of folks learn about this hack together towards its ending, so we had a short extension to accommodate those who wanted to contribute as part of this initiative.

However, the project will still continue to accept individual contributions post hack together and everyone is invited to keep contributing!

[VictorCodebase]

Awesome; thanks😃
