Building a Protolab

Lets say you'd like to prototype a new protolab called newlab:

1. Fork Protolab to your GitHub account

   1. Open: https://github.com/code-dot-org/protolab, click the Fork button
   2. Select yourself as the owner, repository name: newlab, click Create Fork
   3. After the fork completes, you'll be taken to your new GitHub repo: https://github.com/username/newlab

2. Enable GitHub actions, to automatically build your repo on push

3. Create a codespace or clone locally

4. Make a source change

   1. Edit src/Lab.tsx and change LAB_NAME to newlab
   2. Commit the change, and push it back to your repo
   3. GitHub Actions will build on push, you can find active builds at: https://github.com/username/newlab/actions
   4. About 1 minute later, you can view your changes on: https://username.github.io/newlab

5. When you're ready to collaborate with others, Fork Protolab back to the code-dot-org organization
