Developer Instructions

If you are making small changes, you can copy the individual .gs pages into a new google apps script that you create on your google drive. If you want to make a lot of changes, consider the steps below so that you can work from eclipse and make commits back to github easily. Unfortunately, the google plugin seems to have some limitations that make if hard to work on a project that someone else has started. Let me know if you have any trouble with the steps below.

If you want to streamline your development, it is recommended that you follow these instructions to install Eclipse, the Google Plugin, the Javascript Development tools, and the Git plugin so that you can make changes and commit directly from within Eclipse.

1. Install Git if you have not already done so.
2. Clone the tutormatch repository with git clone https://github.com/barrybecker4/TutorMatch.git. Create a new "blank project" script in Google docs. You could make simple changes by then copying changed files back into GitHub, but that is not very efficient.
3. In Google Docs, create a new Google app scrips called "LoganTutorMatchApp". It has to have that name.
4. In eclipse, create a new project (file | new project) and select General | project. Press next. Give the project a name (like tutormatch), and uncheck the default location. Instead of the default location, open the location of the "LoganTutorMatchApp" directory in your local cloned version of the repository.
