Setting Up the Project

Where to get the course project code, and how to set up a local project.

All of the project code is avail­able in a Github repository. 

To access the code, either clone the repos­i­to­ry or down­load the zip file of the project files. 

The repos­i­to­ry only con­tains tem­plates, not an entire Craft CMS instal­la­tion, so it might eas­i­er to just down­load the zip file. 

When you down­load the zip file, please make sure to choose the start branch first before down­load­ing. This branch con­tains all of the tem­plates in their starter version.

Both the main direc­to­ry and the end direc­to­ry have the com­plet­ed tem­plates, in case you would like to ref­er­ence them through­out the course.

The repos­i­to­ry only con­tains the tem­plates direc­to­ry. We’ll spin up a fresh Craft CMS project local­ly and use that to build our reg­is­tra­tion flow. 

In this video I’ll use Craft Nitro but you can use your favorite local devel­op­ment set­up, whether that’s Craft Nitro, DDEV, Dock­er, etc. I have videos here on CraftQuest on using these tools, so check those out if you aren’t sure.
