Initial Commit

Include basic setup for your project.

The first commit requires some necessary setup. See an example init commit.

A JS project should include:

  • .gitignore - ignore any meta files, like package-lock.json or they may cause merge conflicts
  • .vscode/extensions - would recommend “dbaeumer.vscode-eslint”
  • .vscode/launch.json - file for running the debugger
  • .vscode/settings.json - ensure that formatOnSave and linting are enabled
  • README.md
  • package.json - include test commands - include repo - include test runner dependencies
