Branches

Branches are for version control. This makes it possible to work on multiple issues/tickets at the same time. Make sure that you never work on the main branch.

1. Change your branch corresponding to your issue/ticket. Example: git checkout v1/frontend to switch to the branch v1/frontend. If the branch already exist, go to next section.
2. If the branch does not exist yet, create a new branch by typing git checkout -b branch_name. Example: git checkout -b v1/frontend. And push the branch to the remote repository. Example: git push origin v1/frontend
3. If you created a new branch, you must go back to step 1 afterwards.

Always try to keep the branch up to date with the latest changes.

3. For the FORTNITE_IO_KEY variable go to FortniteApi.io and get the API key form there.
