ChangeWindows
ChangeWindows does what Microsoft doesn't: document every change we can possibly find in Windows on any platform.
After ChangeWindows viv, we've decided to bring ChangeWindows Horizon - our 7th major itteration - to an open source repository near you too. Built with Laravel and React, this is a more modern version of our website.
To run ChangeWindows, you'll need the following:
- PHP 7.4.0 or higher, including extensions required by Laravel 8.x
- MySQL
- Composer
- npm
Clone this repository to any given directory and setup the .env file with all required parameters. An example of an .env file can be found in .env.example. Then execute the following commands.
composer install
npm install
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed
To run ChangeWindows, use the following command:
php artisan serve
This will launch a server at 127.0.0.1:8000. Also run this NPM command.
npm run watch
This will compile various files, mostly SCSS and keep an eye out for changes.
For a production build, execute the following commands:
composer install --prefer-dist --no-scripts --no-dev -o
npm run prod
The node_modules folder is not required in a production environment as long as the production-script has been run. All relevant JavaScript will be compiled to the public-folder.
We are open to contributions to ChangeWindows. Do you have a feature that you really want to see but we are not spending any time on it ourselves? Feel free to open a pull request for it!
Not into coding, but like to support us nonetheless? We're always happy with a donation. Our patrons will be shown on the About-page.
If you discover a security vulnerability within ChangeWindows, please contact us through private means. Most successful would probably be to contact us on Twitter.
