# freeCodeCamp forum clone
## Description
This work is inspired by the [freeCodeCamp Forum Homepage](https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/coding-interview-prep/take-home-projects/build-a-freecodecamp-forum-homepage) project. It is a standalone front-end application and a clone of [freeCodeCamp's 30 most recent forum posts](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/latest) page built with basic HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. It is developed by the members of the freeCodeCamp community in order to develop soft skills, get more familiar with Fetch API, Git workflow and develop general coding skills. _And also, just for the sake of happy coding!_

## Installation
##### Basic Setup
In order to follow further instruction and run this project on your local machine, you will need to install:
- Javascript runtime environment - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)
- Version control system - [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
Before you download anything, check if you don't have it installed already by issuing these commands to your terminal:
```sh
$ node -v
# v17.9.0
$ git --version
# git version 2.25.1
```
If you get `command not found` message, it's not installed.
_For Windows users_: I also personally recommend installing [Windows Terminal](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-terminal/9N0DX20HK701?hl=en-us&gl=us) where you can run _git-bash_ shell rather than _Command Prompt_, which will allow you typing **Linux commands on Windows**.
##### Running the project
1. Open your teminal
1. `cd` into your projects directory
1. Clone this repository to your local machine `git clone https://github.com/GITHUB-USERNAME-GOES-HERE/fcc-forum-clone.git`
1. Change to the project directory `cd fcc-forum-clone`
1. Make sure you are in the projects directory
Linux: `pwd` should result in `/home/me/fcc-projects/fcc-forum-clone`
Windows: Your prompt should look like this `C:\Users\Me\fcc-projects\fcc-forum-clone>`
1. Install the [dependencies](https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-dependency-in-coding?share=1) using [npm](https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/whatis_npm.asp) program. `npm install`
