The purpose of this repository is to proved a template for a base starting point for C4G course projects. This template is not mandatory, but it captures the needs of a typical C4G project that uses a website and a database. A team that uses the template for building their project can also use it to meet course reporting requirements. Features include:

- Authentication using google with 2 provided test accounts
- Authentication with email/password and Google (2 test accounts provided)
- CI/CD which will deploy the application and DB to the [c4g.dev](https://c4g.dev) server using your applications sub-domain.
- A user management page for `ADMIN` users. Base roles are `ADMIN` and `STAFF`.
- Project specific deliverable pages to quickly update as we progress through the course. Found by clicking the `Team` link in the footer of the application.
