Please have these steps setup before the sprint!

1. Create an account on Drupal.org if you do not yet have one.

   Join the #drupal-pnw and #drupal-contribute IRC channels.

3. Install git.

   free online reference book

4. Install drush and Drupal Console.

5. Install a local development stack.

   Drupal.org suggest the Acquia Dev Desktop, which has installers for both Windows and Mac. (video)

   There are many other ways to do this, I prefer/recommend Drupal VM and there more to choose from in the guide: Local server setup.

6. Create a local website & database:

   • d8.dev with a d8 database to do your development

7. Clone Drupal 8 with git:

   (run these commands from within your respective web directories)

   D8 webroot:

   git clone --branch 8.0.x https://git.drupal.org/project/drupal.git your/d8/webroot/path
           cd your/d8/webroot/path

8. Read some reference material
9. Install Drupal and you're ready to patch!

   From within the webroot your/d8/webroot/path or with the drush alias drush use @drupalvm.d8.dev

   drush si --db-url=mysql://user:pass@localhost/d8 --account-name=admin --account-pass=admin standard
