Contributing to the Flutter Geolocator plugin

What you will need

  • A Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows machine (note: to run and compile iOS specific parts you'll need access to a Mac OS X machine);
  • git (used for source version control, installation instruction can be found here);
  • The Flutter SDK (installation instructions can be found here);
  • A personal GitHub account (if you don't have one, you can sign-up for free here)

Setting up your development environment

  • Fork https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator into your own GitHub account. If you already have a fork and moving to a new computer, make sure you update you fork.
  • If you haven't configured your machine with an SSH key that's known to github, then follow GitHub's directions to generate an SSH key.
  • Clone your forked repo on your local development machine: git clone [email protected]:<your_name_here>/flutter-geolocator.git
  • Change into the flutter-geolocator directory: cd flutter-geolocator
  • Add an upstream to the original repo, so that fetch from the master repository and not your clone: git remote add upstream [email protected]:BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator.git
