Summary
This PR improves the onboarding experience for new contributors by documenting the local development setup.
Changes
.env.examplewith placeholder values.docs/LOCAL_SETUP.mddescribing the setup process.Motivation
While setting up the project locally, I found that the backend requires several environment variables (such as
APP_HOST_NAME,GithubBearer,IP_INFO_TOKEN,EMAIL_USERNAME, andEMAIL_PASSWORD) but there was no example configuration or setup guide. This made it difficult to run the project for the first time.This PR aims to make the setup process clearer for future contributors.
