## What am I looking at? 🤔

This repository is the FreeSewing *monorepo* holding all FreeSewing's websites, documentation, designs, plugins, and other NPM packages.

This folder holds: @freesewing/core

If you're not entirely sure what to do or how to start, type this command:

```
npm run tips
```

> We recommend that you fork our repository and then 
> put `gitpod.io/#<entire-url-of-your-fork` into a browser 
> to start up a browser-based dev environment of your own.

## About FreeSewing 💀

Where the world of makers and developers collide, that's where you'll find FreeSewing.

If you're a maker, checkout [freesewing.eu](https://freesewing.eu/) where you can generate
sewing patterns adapted to your measurements.

If you're a developer, the FreeSewing documentation lives at [freesewing.dev](https://freesewing.dev/).
The FreeSewing [core library](https://freesewing.dev/reference/api/) is a *batteries-included* toolbox
for parametric design of sewing patterns. But FreeSewing also provides a range 
of [plugins](https://freesewing.dev/reference/plugins/) that further extend the 
functionality of the platform.

If you have NodeJS installed, you can try it right now by running:

```bash
npx @freesewing/studio
```

Getting started guides are available for:
- [Linux](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/getting-started-linux/)
- [MacOS](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/getting-started-mac/)
- [Windows](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/getting-started-windows/)

The [pattern design tutorial](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/pattern-design/) will
show you how to create your first parametric design.

## Getting started ⚡ 

To get started with FreeSewing, you can spin up our development environment with:

```bash
npx @freesewing/studio
```

To work with FreeSewing's monorepo, you'll need [NodeJS v20](https://nodejs.org) on your system.  
Once you have that, clone (or fork) this repo and run `npm run kickstart`:

```bash
git clone git@codeberg.org:freesewing/freesewing.git
cd freesewing
npm run kickstart
```
