Ticket 0: Project Repo Setup

[markcdev101]

Setup the Spring Project

Description Set up a Git repository dedicated solely to the backend of the project, following a microservice architecture. The repository will contain the initial Spring Boot project files and a proper folder structure. This step ensures that the backend services are properly managed and version-controlled.

Spring Boot Concepts Covered: None directly (Initial project setup and version control management)

Guides

• How to Create a GitHub Repository
• Spring Initializr Setup
• GitHub Workflow: Master/Development Branches

Steps:

1. Create GitHub Repository:

• Create a new repository on GitHub named flavor-vault-backend.
• Set the repository as private or public, depending on your preference.
• Add a README.md file with basic information about the backend services.
• Add a .gitignore file tailored for Java and Spring Boot projects (to ignore files like target/, .DS_Store, .idea/, .vscode/, etc.).
• Select MIT License or another appropriate license.

1. Clone the Repo:

2. Clone the GitHub repository to your local machine:

3. Generate Spring Boot Project Using Spring Initializr:

• Use Spring Initializr to generate the Spring Boot project files for the backend:
• Group: com.flavorvault
• Artifact: flavor_vault_backend
• Name: Flavor Vault Backend
• Description: Backend for the Flavor Vault Recipe Management System
• Dependencies:
• Spring Web
• Spring Data JPA
• MySQL Driver
• Spring Security
• Lombok
• Spring Boot DevTools
• Packaging: Jar
• Java Version: 17 (or the latest LTS version)
• Download the generated Spring Boot project and move it to the flavor-vault-backend/ folder.

Acceptance Criteria

• A GitHub repository named spring-flavour-vault-backend is created.
• The repository contains:
• A README.md with basic project information.
• A .gitignore file set up for Java/Spring Boot projects.
• The Spring Boot backend project is generated using Spring Initializr and added to the repository.
• Initial commit is made and pushed to GitHub.
• A develop branch is created and pushed to GitHub.
