## Branches

- `server` branch contains all NodeJs and ExpressJs server side code
- `development` branch is used to test breaking Pull Requests
- `gh-pages` branch is used to deploy the react code of `master` branch using GitHub pages

## Requirements

For development, you will only need Node.js and ReactJs installed in your environement.

### Node
- #### Node installation on Windows

Just go on [official Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/) and download the installer.
Also, be sure to have `git` available in your PATH, `npm` might need it (You can find git [here](https://git-scm.com/)).

- #### Node installation on Ubuntu

You can install nodejs and npm easily with apt install, just run the following commands.

$ sudo apt install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm

- #### Other Operating Systems
You can find more information about the installation on the [official Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/) and the [official NPM website](https://npmjs.org/).

If the installation was successful, you should be able to run the following command.

$ node --version
v8.11.3

$ npm --version
6.1.0

If you need to update `npm`, you can make it using `npm`! Cool right? After running the following command, just open again the command line and be happy.

$ npm install npm -g
