Installing NVM

Install NVM ($ brew install nvm and follow instructions)

nvm install iojs-v1.2.0
nvm use iojs-v1.2.0
npm install -g gulp
npm install

This app authenticates with GitHub, so you'll need to create a GitHub Application and set ENVs for GH_CLIENT_ID and GH_CLIENT_SECRET.

Running

Run the application with $ npm start. You can also set the environment variables at start time. Here's an example:

$ GH_CLIENT_ID=myid GH_CLIENT_SECRET=mysecret npm start

For debugging all the things, run DEBUG=* npm start.

Database

Download and install MongoDB

When you run npm start, mongod will be forked as a background process. No need to create the database either. You're all set.

Development

If you add any runtime dependencies, you must run npm shrinkwrap and commit changes to npm-shrinkwrap.json.

Building Assets

To build assets locally, you'll need to install Bower dependencies and run these Gulp tasks:

$ bower install
$ gulp sass
$ gulp javascript

Remember to re-run these tasks after pulling or changing branches.
