Fork, Install and Start Developing the LMS Frappe App

This tutorial will guide you through the process of forking, installing, and starting development on the Library Management System (LMS) Frappe app.

Repository

We are working with the following repository: https://github.com/GreatDevelopers/library_management_system

Step 1: Fork the Repository

Use the following command to fork the repository:

gh repo fork https://github.com/GreatDevelopers/library_management_system

If you haven’t set up an SSH key with GitHub CLI, use the following command:

gh auth login

Note: If you don’t have GitHub CLI (gh) installed, you can manually fork the repository by visiting the link in your browser and clicking the “Fork” button.

Step 2: Clone the App

Note: If you’re using fm/docker instead of ERPNext, first enter the shell using fm shell before executing the following command.

Use this command to clone the app:

bench get-app https://github.com/GreatDevelopers/library_management_system

Step 3: Install the App

Install the app on your site using:

bench --site mysite.com install-app library_management_system

Step 4: Initialize Git

Initialize Git in the cloned repository:

git init

Now you can start working on your doctypes and make commits.

Important Notes

1. When you’re ready to submit your changes, send a pull request to your forked repository.
2. After reviewing your changes in your fork, create a pull request to the original repository (GreatDevelopers’ repo).

Happy developing!
