@texas2010 Thanks for raising an issue, yes the instructions need to be updated.

@absolitudo gatsby is installed as a dependency of this project, the gatsby develop and gatsby build commands have been mapped to yarn develop and yarn build so there is no need for a global anything.

If I have missed something, please open a separate issue for discussion.

It is yours @ekaoddlass 👍

@ekaoddlass Grats on the first PR/merge 😃
There was an extra word "branch" in your changes so I modified the file a bit more.
As for the sample.env file, I got an error the first time I tried 'cp sample.env .env' but was able to run the build anyway...

So it's definitely possible to run without it (from what I'm seeing so far), BUT when I tried the cp command again to reproduce the error, the .env file copied successfully... so I can't confirm 100% that the step is extra.

I think the first-timers can do this. I am sure this is simple to fix.

I think it's worth mentioning here that some of the commands require gatsby to be globally installed, which is not included in the instructions either.

The development steps need to be updated to include the step

cp sample.env .env

And edit the 'create a branch' step to

git checkout -b <your-branch-name>

👍

Can confirm yarn develop works for me without installing gatsby global. In fact, I still haven't even installed yarn globally so I'm running it using $(npm bin)/yarn develop.

Hi, I would like to try and work on this issue please. How do I claim it?

[ekafyi]

PR submitted and merged -- this was my first PR!

Out of curiosity though, I did not copy the sample.env file (ran ls and confirmed my local clone does not have .env file) but I could run yarn develop without problem. Does it depend on your machine's global setting whether you need .env or not?
