## Getting Started

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository  

1. Navigate to the project directory

1. Set the [required environment variables](#environment-variables)

1. Install the project dependencies using `go get ./...`  

1. Build the project using `go build -o main ./app`

1. Run the project using `./main`

## Environment Variables

The project requires certain environment variables to be set in order to function properly. You can find a list of required variables in the `.env.example` file.

The project is flexible when it comes to loading the environment variables.

You can use any of the following ways to set the environment variables:

- Create a `.env` file in the root directory of the project and add your variables there. The project will automatically read these variables on startup.

- Set environment variables directly in your shell using the `export` command. For example, you could run `export GITHUB_API_TOKEN=your_token` to set the `GITHUB_API_TOKEN` variable. Note that this method will only set the variable for the current shell session.

- When running the compiled executable file, you can set environment variables inline like this: `GITHUB_API_TOKEN=your_token ./main`. This will set the `GITHUB_API_TOKEN` variable specifically for the execution of that command.
