New Member Onboarding instructions

1. create a new folder where your copy of veridium will live:

cd Desktop

*cd means change directory and Desktop navigates the terminal to your Desktop.

2. clone the Veridium repository so a local copy lives on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/dali-lab/veridium.git

3. Change directories to the new veridium folder and checkout your own branch (so you don't accidentally edit the main code):

cd veridium
git checkout -b FIRSTINITIAL_LASTINITIAL/short-description-of-intended-changes

example: git checkout -b "EK/Design-Mockups"

4. Now you have a local copy of the project and can run the command git pull origin main in order to pull in the latest changes.

5. If you don't already have it, download Unity Hub and open it. Make sure you have Unity 2021.3.26f. If you don't you can download it to unity hub here

6. In Unity hub, click open project and find the folder that you cloned veridium into.

7. Unity should launch the veridium project. In the objects heirarchy navigate to the veridium scene and double click it to open. Congratulations, you now have access to the veridium projects.

Additional Notes:

3D modelling and design for Veridium is best done in a program called Maya, which is worth downloading as well.

To make changes to the veridium project, edit the scene in Unity as you would normally. When you're done. Run

git add .
git commit -m "description of changes made"
git push 

Then go to the github repository and open a Pull request of your branch against the main branch.
