Betmate is a web platform that combines live betting with chess. It allows users to place bets on outcomes of games and on moves throughout the game. At the moment, all bets are placed using virtual currency, and the live games are taken from a sample of games that have been played on Lichess.

All pull requests merged into the 'dev' branch are automatically deployed to https://betmate-dev.netlify.app/
All pull requests merged into the 'release' branch are automatically deployed to https://betmate-prod.netlify.app/. This will be the official version of the site.
The current development flow has all pull requests merging into the 'dev' branch, which is the equivalent of the 'master' or 'main' branch on most repos. Once the changes on the 'dev' branch have been sufficiently tested for bugs and the team is ready to release changes to the official site, a pull request is made from the 'dev' branch to the 'release' branch.
The continuous deployment process is managed by a service called Netlify. To access the team's Netlify account, please refer to the handoff doc for login credential information. The handoff doc will be in the shared Google Drive for this project.
