Technical Requirements

For this chapter, we’ll continue to use the development process covered in Chapter 3, Establishing the Development Workflow. If you’re just joining us on the journey or haven’t been writing code on your own, you can catch up by cloning or checking out the ch3-final tag from Space-Truckers: The GitHub Repository at https://github.com/jelster/space-truckers/tree/ch3-final. Before writing any code for the material in this chapter, it’s typically a good idea to create a new git branch that tracks the previous chapter’s branch or tag. This is unusual, as you would normally set up your branch to track develop or main. In this case, however, you want to be comparing commits from a specific point in the repository’s commit history prior to where you’re starting, and not everything that comes afterward has been covered yet.
