Summary

  • fix the project name typo in the README header
  • replace the generic create-next-app text with repository-specific setup notes
  • document the main scripts, structure, and required environment variables

Testing

  • npm install
  • git diff --check
  • npx prettier --check README.md
  • npm run lint (fails before checking the README because the repository is missing a Solhint config file: "Failed to load a solhint's config file.")

Fixes #1

Hi! I updated the README with project-specific setup and contributor guidance. Local validation completed with \ and \Checking formatting.... I also tried , but it currently fails before reaching this change because the repository is missing a Solhint config file (). The remaining failing PR check appears to be Vercel deployment authorization on the maintainer side rather than an issue with this docs-only change. Thanks!

41-48: Align package-manager prerequisites with install commands.

Line 42 says npm/yarn/pnpm are supported, but Lines 46-48 only show npm. Either narrow the prerequisite to npm or add yarn/pnpm install examples for consistency.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Document the known lint caveat for contributors.

Given the current Solhint config issue noted in PR testing, Line 67 should mention this temporary failure mode so setup expectations are accurate.

Suggested README patch
-- `npm run lint` — run contract linting, Prettier checks, and Next.js linting
+- `npm run lint` — run contract linting, Prettier checks, and Next.js linting *(currently blocked if Solhint config is missing)*
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
- `npm run lint` — run contract linting, Prettier checks, and Next.js linting
- `npm run lint` — run contract linting, Prettier checks, and Next.js linting *(currently blocked if Solhint config is missing)*

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add explicit private-key safety guidance.

Line 82 documents PRIVATE_KEY but does not warn contributors about secret handling. Please add a clear note to use .env.local, never commit it, and use a non-production key for local/dev flows.

 ## Notes
 
 - The homepage currently announces GitCode-v3 as "Coming Soon..." while this repository contains the GitCode-v2 codebase.
 - The bounties page reads blockchain data via `RPC_URL` and `PRIVATE_KEY` environment variables.
+- Store these values in `.env.local` (gitignored), never commit secrets, and use a low-risk/dev wallet key only.
