+- [Getting Started](#getting-started)
+ - [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
+ - [Installation](#installation)
+- [Usage](#usage)
+- [Contributing](#contributing)
-The page will reload when you make changes.\
-You may also see any lint errors in the console.
+## Features
-### `npm test`
+- Create and manage crowdfunding projects.
+- Backers can pledge funds to projects.
+- Project creators can set funding goals and deadlines.
+- Explore and discover a variety of creative categories.
+- Real-time project updates.
-Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.\
-See the section about [running tests](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/running-tests) for more information.
+## Getting Started
-### `npm run build`
+### Prerequisites
-Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.\
-It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
+Before you start, make sure you have the following software installed:
-The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.\
-Your app is ready to be deployed!
+- Node.js
+- npm
-See the section about [deployment](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/deployment) for more information.
+### Installation
-### `npm run eject`
+1. Clone the repository:
-**Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you `eject`, you can't go back!**
+ ```sh
+ git clone https://github.com/Ratnesh4193/PledgeUp.git
-If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can `eject` at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
+2. Navigate to the project directory:
-Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except `eject` will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.
+ ```sh
+ cd PledgeUp
+3. Install dependencies:
-You don't have to ever use `eject`. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.
+ ```sh
+ npm install
-## Learn More
