Sprinternship 2024 Challenge Project
Go to https://github.com/bitly/sprinterns2024
Click the “<> Code” Dropdown button and toggle to SSH Copy the url: git@github.com:bitly/sprinterns2024.git
Open a Terminal window on your computer. If you have a Mac, this should be pretty straightforward (although we may need to install Git if you haven’t used it before). If you’re on a windows computer, we may need to install a git specific terminal - we’ll figure it out together!
$ cd (to get into your home directory
$ git clone git@github.com:bitly/sprinterns2024.git
If you get permissioning errors (about not being able to pull from this repo - we’ll need to take some steps to allow you to interact with git via SSH).
Once you’ve successfully cloned the repository, if you do an ls -la command in your terminal, you should now see a “sprinterns2024” directory listed!
Now we’ll deal with installing dependencies
$ go mod tidy
If you do not already have homebrew installed, you can do so by running the following command in your terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
We also need to install our database - MySQL
$ brew install mysql
$ brew services start mysql
$ mysql_secure_installation - set the password to admin. You shouldn't enforce a strong password here because otherwise it'll reject admin. If you can't get it to accept admin, just put in a strong password then:
$ mysql -u root -p $ UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=null WHERE User='root';
$ FLUSH PRIVILEGES; $ exit;
$ mysql -u root $ ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'admin123';
To Start the MySQL Server:
$ mysql.server start
To Stop the MySQL Server:
$ mysql.server stop
To access the DB command line:
$ mysql -u root -p (then enter the password you created when prompted)
Once the dependencies have been installed, you’ll be able to run the server/app with:
$ go run main.go
