Our Senior adviser Vishnu alerted us on the need to create an .env file to store our app API Keys to prevent others from being able to access our Firebase Database.

Attempt to solve this: 8am start

First Clone Test: 2pm SGT success

New Instructions on cloning our project

Those who are cloning our project and trying to run need to request the .env file from us (Developers).
Afterwards, they need to put the .env file into the root directory of the project
Ensure API Keys are really accessed with process.env.[API_KEY_NAMES]

Second Test: 2.45pm SGT success

We conclude we have successfully changed our file management to include .env file and the app is still able to run well
