 # how to contribute
 1. Head to [the firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/) and make a new project (the project name doesnt really matter, but just name it `monkey-type`). You dont need to enable analytics for it.

-3. Git clone the project and make sure the project name inside `.firebaserc` is the same as what you made it in step 1
-4. Make sure you use a SCSS compiler. For VSCode I recommend `Live Sass Compiler` extension.
