Ground-station_2021-2022

Ground station repo for SAC 2022

How to contribute

Push your changes to your individual feature branch for your project then do a pull request with that project's dev branch. Please avoid pushing directly to the project's dev branch.

ex: You're working on a new feature, say the dynamic map, and you're ready to push your changes. You should follow these steps:

1. create a new branch (feature-branch) (you must be in the ground-station-2021 repo)

$ git branch dynamic-map
$ git checkout dynamic-map

2. add your changes in the working directory to the staging area

$ git add .

3. save your changes to the local repository

$ git commit -m 'write your message here'

4. upload your local repository to the remote repository

$ git push --set-upstream origin dynamic-map

if you're updating an already existing feature branch without creating a new one (ex: you modified the dynamic-map code, but the branch dynamic-map already exists):

• step 1, use:

$ git checkout dynamic-map

• step 4, use:

$ git push

Once you believe your feature branch is ready to be merged into the project's dev-branch, create a pull request.

Using JavaFX

https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-javafx

Important: Look at the "Running HelloWorld using JavaFX 13" part and not the gradle part because I couldn't get it to function with gradle properly. Also, make sure you're using JDK 11 or newer (I'm not sure it'll work without it).

Note: If you decide to use FXML (recommended, but do as you wish), css, or images, put them in the appropriate folder in "src/main/resources/"
