## Setup
In the ```build.gradle```, you will find an associated weather API key assigned, so you will want to
visit [Open Weather Map](https://openweathermap.org/api) and sign up to get an API key.
Once you have an API key, place it in your global ```gradle.properties``` file or in your environment.
It should look like this, replacing `````` with the actual key:
```WEATHER_API_KEY=```

## Tests
There are UI tests setup to run Espresso tests. Unit tests are also configured and uses Mockito.

## CI
This project is configured to run Github Actions and uses Dependabot for dependency updates.
The GitHub Actions will run both unit tests and UI tests on master, or pull requests.

## Contributing
Since this project is open source, contributing is encouraged.
