[ init ][ env ][ <dupme> ] setup your react-native environment and only ask me questions async

[braedontask]

stuff every developer needs

• i hate to be toxic but a mac (you cant do ios on windows so if ur cc use smellys mac)
• homebrew is basically the app store for the mac terminal
• once you have homebrew installing git is easy: brew install git in the terminal

pre react-native setup

• if you dont have a github make one
• copy this issue and make a new one replacing <dupme> with ur name
• once you confirm the previous step with me ill add you to the repository
• accept the repository invite and clone the repository locally

react-native setup steps

• clone this repository and make its top level directory yuck
• read through and do the react-native setup tutorial on ur machine (notice that they have selectors for mac/windows + ios/android)

things to double check

• probably update your mac to new the OS
• install xcode and xcode command line tools (xcode-select install)
• install watchman (brew install watchman)
• install node (brew install node)
• install rvm (\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby)
• upgrade ruby (rvm upgrade "ruby-2.7.5")
• install cocoapods (sudo gem install cocoapods)
• pod install in the ios directory
• use npx react-native start + npx react-native run-ios in the yuck directory you cloned

post react-native setup

• if you dont have vs code go get vs code (use vs code to make changes to the codebase)
• in the repository add a newline to the readme under people who are qualified
• make a new branch for your changes
• push your changes to the new branch
• pull request your changes to the readme for review
• in the pull request body put a screenshot of the functioning ios simulator running yuck so we know ur like that
