Running the Website Locally

npm i  # install dependencies
npm run dev  # run the website on localhost:3000

Deployment

The website is hosted using Vercel. You can log in using the [email protected] account. When you push any code to main, Vercel will automatically apply the new changes and try building the app and deploying it. Because of this, please make sure the website will build correctly BEFORE you push to main.

Locally test a build with:

npm run build # create the build in the .next/ directory
npm run start # run the build locally

After confirming the build runs locally, push your commits to the Github main branch
