## To make your first component

###  1. Fork this repo

Just click the fork button in the top right of this page.

###  2. Rename it (e.g. my-component)

In the right hand column, click on the screwdriver/wrench icon for Settings.

###  3. Git clone it to your computer

The usual git clone command will work.

###  4. In your terminal window:

```
cd <wherever you cloned it>
npm install
grunt
```

###  5. Teach Appmaker where you find your new component

* Go to appmaker
* Sign in
* In the menu with your email address, click on 'add a component'
* Specify the URL that step 4 gives you.

### 6. Edit component.html

As the file is changed, the local server will udpate; Refresh the designer to make it load the new version. (we hope to streamline this later).
