1) Create a GitHub repository called simple-todos and clone it to your local file system.
2) In a different directory, create a Meteor app called simple-todos:
% meteor create simple-todos
You should now have two directories called “simple-todos”, one containing a clone of your GitHub repo, and the other containing your Meteor app.
3) Copy the contents of your Meteor app (i.e. ./meteor, simple-todos.js, simple-todos.html, and simple-todos.css) into the top-level of your GitHub repo directory. Test that your repo contains a running Meteor app by invoking meteor:
09:50 [~/github/simple-todos] $ meteor
[[[[[ ~/github/simple-todos ]]]]]
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Started your app.
=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/
Use control-C to shutdown the app. If the Meteor app does not run, you have not copied the files over correctly. Please fix before proceeding. Once this works, you can delete the Meteor-created simple-todos directory and do all future work in the GitHub simple-todos directory.
4) Create an IntelliJ IDEA project called simple-todos, using “Static Web” as the project type, and pointing it at your GitHub repo directory.
5) Commit your local repo to GitHub.
6) Step through the remainder of the first tutorial. Do all the editing in IntelliJ. Take your time and make sure you understand all the steps. Feel free to skip step 7 (Creating an iOS or Android native app) if you want.
7) Once you have finished the tutorial and have built your own version of simple-todos, commit your code to GitHub.
