Required Software:

Required Knowledge:

or
Go to URL
- First box: https://github.com/DashieDev/DoggyTalentsNext
- Second box: Make an empty folder (make sure the folder is named properly in English). That'll be the location for the project.
After the cloning, you'll be greeted with this interface.
Click on Current branch, and head to the version in which you want to contribute to (I'll pick the 1.20-debug branch).

Note: Make sure you pick a branch that has -debug suffix not -master

Open in VSC.
After you click Yes on the Trust the Authors confirmation. VSC will recommend you to install these extensions as well as JDK (Java Development Kit). The first one is mandatory.
Open New Terminal.

If you done it correctly, there should be a .vscode folder in your project.

Reload your project. (there should be a notification board pops up at the bottom right corner.)
Ctrl+P + > Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace.
Press f5.
