# 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.
2. Install the [Firebase Command Line Interface](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli), and use `firebase login` to log in to the same google account as you just used to make the project.
3. Git clone the project and make sure to rename `.firebaserc_example` to `.firebaserc` and changed the project name inside to your firebase project name.
4. Make sure you use a SCSS compiler. For VSCode I recommend `Easy Sass` or `Live Sass Compiler` extension.
5. Run `firebase serve --only hosting` to start a local server on post 5000. Use ctrl+c to stop it.
That should be it. If you run into any problems, let me know.
