Quickstart

To run it locally, follow the steps below:

1. Clone repository and install the dependencies:

   # Clone repository
   git clone git@github.com:peterkibuchi/shreddit.git
   
   # Install dependencies
   pnpm i

2. Copy .env.example to .env and update the variables.

   cp .env.example .env

3. Sync the Drizzle schema with your database

   pnpm db:push

   Note: If you are pointing at a database that was previously managed by Prisma, baseline it first with pnpm drizzle-kit pull --init (or verify parity by confirming that pnpm db:push reports no changes) before ever running generated migrations against it. The schema maps onto the existing Prisma-created tables as-is; only the legacy unused Example table is no longer tracked and can be dropped manually.

4. Start the development server:

   pnpm dev
