How to use this repo

To get up and running with this repo in about 30 seconds, follow these steps:

1. Deploy this repo to Netlify to create your own copy of the repo and set up automatic deployments

2. Clone your new copy of the repo:

   For example, if your username is blitzjackson and you named the repo useless-web:

   # clone the repo
   git clone [e-mail]:blitzjackson/useless-web.git
   
   # move into the folder
   cd useless-web/

3. Open index.html in a browser to see the project.

   If you have npm@5.2.0 or later, you can run npx serve to start a development server at http://localhost:5000

4. Edit the project files to create your Useless Web project.

   Yeah, we know this is kind of a “draw the rest of the owl” step, but we believe in your creativity! If you’d like to see some examples, check out other useless projects we love.

5. Commit your changes and push them to GitHub:

   # add your files to Git staging
   git add -A
   
   # commit changes to Git
   git commit -m 'describe your changes here'
   
   # push your changes up to GitHub
   git push origin master

   You can repeat this step as often as you want.

6. Check your Netlify dashboard — the site will automatically rebuild and redeploy whenever you push changes!
