Lambda PM Companion

Download Latest

The latest build is available here for all platforms.

Requirements

git installed and configured

  Note: If you're using WSL or gitbash exclusively you need to also have git installed so it can run from the regular command prompt.

node.js with npm or yarn installed and configured

Basic Usage

The Batch button will git clone or git pull the input repo from any students added into the Working Directory.
```
  Note: The Working Directory must be an absolute path.
```
The Save button will save all the input data to save you from having to input it again on subsequent uses of the app.

All the Forms buttons will open a browser window to their respective airtables.

  Note: Ending a Student's Name in a period "." will cause many issues with accessing the resulting folder or even deleting it on many OSes. Try to avoid doing that for the time being.

The Clone \ Pull button will perform a git clone or git pull in the Working Directory inside a folder using the student's name depending if the folder exists or not.
The GH button will open a browser window to the student's github in the repository section.
The PR button will open a browser window to the student's PR on the input repo.
The Sandbox button will open a browser window for Code Sandbox with the student's git repo (intended for React etc. repos, may not work for others).
If there is any unexpected behavior you can check the Dev Tools under Dev Tools > Toggle to see more information about any errors.

Building

Run yarn or npm i to install the necessary dependencies.

To build an executable run:

npm run package-win
or
npm run package-mac
or
npm run pacakge-linux

depending on your target platform.

 If you use WSL or GitBash exclusively note that this is a native GUI App, so you would build it for windows.

Navigate to the release-builds folder to find the folder containing the executable.
Run the App directly, no need to install.
- On Mac you can drag the .app to Applications
- On Windows you can choose a permanent place for the folder and add the .exe to your Start Menu or Taskbar
- On Linux you can choose a permanent place for the folder and either create an alias or add it to your PATH. Some info here

To Run for Development

Run yarn or npm i to install the necessary dependencies.
Run npm start .

TODO
