Give a star to the getting started repo. Spread the love
The Link of the getting started repo will be provided before the beginning of the Hackathon. This is to track who all are making the submissions.

Step 2: Fork the repo

Fork and rename the getting started repository in the format: HTM22: <Repo_name>

Step 3: Start hacking

• Create your web service (or even better, a group of microservices) that provides your backend’s required functionality via its APIs.
• Generate your api-docs using the Godspeed CLI.
