Getting Started with Amplify

Prerequisites: Visual Studio Code, or some other IDE of your choice if running locally.

Github Codespaces

Codespaces is the simplest way to get up and running, and there are multiple ways to use Codespaces, depending on your wants and needs.

Local Codespaces

From the green Code <> tab on the main repository page, click Codespaces then the + button. Once a codespace appears, you can chose to Open in your local editor.

Codespaces

Once your editor opens, you should see something similar to this:

VSCode local

From this shell, you can check out or create a branch, or use the commands in package.json to get the app started. You can also inspect ports tab to see where the app or the development instance of PostgreSQL can be accessed.

ports tab

This setup will work if don't want to install an editor as well. Just click open in browser and you will be directed to an instance of VsCode's web-based IDE, which will work mostly the same, but may be limited in some functionality.
