Step 1

Go ahead and clone the repository of the BMI calculator app:

git clone https://github.com/cs280spring/bmi-app

Change the directory to the bmi-app folder and open the index.html file in your favorite browser.

The application is a simple BMI calculator, styled with GitHub's Design System, Primer.

For simplicity, the styling and script are both included in the index.html file.

This app is deployed as a GitHub Page at https://cs280spring.github.io/bmi-app/. When a client visits this URL, the GitHub server sends the index.html file to the client's browser. The browser then renders the HTML file. In the following sections, we will build our server to replicate GitHub's!
