Description
This PR improves the development setup by making it more beginner-friendly and aligning with standard monorepo practices. Additionally, it optimizes the repository structure by consolidating redundant
.gitignorefiles and adding an.env.examplefor better clarity.Issues Closes
#51
Changes Implemented:
✅ Unified frontend & backend dev servers into a single command using
concurrentlywith clear labels (FE&BE) and colors.✅ Consolidated multiple
.gitignorefiles into a single root-level.gitignoreto ensure consistency.✅ Added an
.env.samplefile to guide users on setting up environment variables easily.✅ Updated Project Setup Guide to reflect these improvements.
Benefits:
🚀 Simplifies development: Both frontend & backend run in a single terminal session.
📂 Cleaner repo structure: A single
.gitignoreinstead of multiple scattered ones.🔍 Better onboarding:
.env.samplehelps users understand required env variables.🎨 Improved terminal experience: Labels (
FE&BE) with colors for clarity.Testing:
npm run dev, verified both FE & BE start correctly in a single terminal..gitignorecorrectly ignores unnecessary files..env.exampleprovides clear guidance without exposing actual credentials.Would love feedback on this! 🚀
