Useful Resources

Settings up public key on your sever

# create .ssh/authorized_keys on your server if it isn't already there

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh your_user@the_hostname 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

Check out github's awesome guide on how to generate ssh keys

Installing Node

We recommend setting up your node using https://github.com/tj/n .

It's an awesome way to maintain different node versions on your system and allows you to do cool stuff like this...

n         # opens up cli tool to select node version
n 5.9.4   # install this version of node and switch to it
n 7.2.0   # install this version of node and switch to it
n 5.9.4   # switch your node to use this version of node.

This is a compiled list of resources which will be beneficial to any devs joining the BOnline dev team.

* is used to indicate that the resource is highly suggested/required.

Editor Config

We use EditorConfig to maintain stylistic consisitency between devs.

Here's a guide to setup editor config for sublime.

If you aren't using sublime as your editor of choice it'll be your responsibility to get editor config working for your editor.
