Before starting the course, please have VSCode or another code editor installed.
The master branch and commits within are all covered in Introduction to React v5. The other branches, excluding the gh-pages-src and gh-pages branches (these create the course website), are all covered in Intermediate React as modular segments that can be taken individually, or out of order.

Parcel is an ever evolving project that's just getting better. If you run into problems with it not respecting changes (particularly to your .babelrc or .env files) then delete the dist/ and the .cache/ directories. You can do this in bash by running from the root directoy of your project rm -rf dist/ .cache/ or just by deleting those directories in your editor. This will force Parcel to start over and not cache anything.
See this issue for more specific instructions.
If you run into anything else, open an issue and we'll try to clarify or help.
Pull requests are extremely welcome! If you see a typo in the course website, you can access the website code through the gh-pages-src branch of this repository.
