This pull request introduces major improvements to onboarding and environment setup documentation, updates repository branding from itskavin to ByteTrix, and refines the release workflow for clarity and maintainability. The most important changes are grouped below:

Environment Setup & Documentation Improvements

  • Added a comprehensive ENV_SETUP.md guide with step-by-step instructions for extracting authentication data, setting up .env, troubleshooting, and security notes. This aims to make configuration much easier for new users.
  • Updated .env.example, README.md, SETUP.md, and DEVELOPMENT.md to prominently reference the new environment setup guide and clarify the configuration process for both end users and developers. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Repository Branding & URLs

  • Changed all repository URLs, Docker image names, and references from itskavin to ByteTrix across documentation and workflow files to reflect the new project ownership and branding. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Release Workflow Enhancements

  • Updated the GitHub Actions release workflow to use softprops/action-gh-release@v2 instead of actions/create-release@v1, improved permissions, and clarified the release job steps and naming. [1] [2]
  • Marked Docker Hub login and push steps as optional and made them non-blocking (continue-on-error: true) to avoid failures if credentials are missing. [1] [2]

These changes collectively improve the user experience, reduce onboarding friction, and ensure consistent project branding.

Hello @itskavin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the project's usability and maintainability by streamlining the onboarding process and updating project branding. It introduces a dedicated, in-depth guide for environment setup, making it much easier for new users to configure authentication. Concurrently, the project's branding has been consistently updated from itskavin to ByteTrix across all relevant files, and the release workflow has been made more robust and flexible.

Highlights

  • Comprehensive Environment Setup Guide: A new ENV_SETUP.md has been added, providing detailed, step-by-step instructions for configuring environment variables (COURSE_LINK, COOKIE_DATA, CLIENT_DATE) for Thinkific-based platforms, including how to extract authentication data using browser developer tools.
  • Documentation Integration: Existing documentation files (.env.example, README.md, DEVELOPMENT.md, SETUP.md) have been updated to prominently reference the new ENV_SETUP.md guide, ensuring users are directed to the comprehensive setup instructions.
  • Repository Branding Update: All instances of the itskavin brand and associated URLs (GitHub repository, Docker image names) have been updated to ByteTrix across documentation and setup.py to reflect new project ownership.
  • Enhanced Release Workflow: The GitHub Actions release workflow has been improved by upgrading the release action, refining permissions, and making Docker Hub login and push steps optional and non-blocking to prevent failures due to missing credentials.

Code Review

This pull request significantly improves the project's documentation by adding a dedicated ENV_SETUP.md guide and updating other files to reference it. The repository branding has also been updated from itskavin to ByteTrix across multiple files.

My review includes a few suggestions to further improve the clarity of the documentation, such as renumbering sections in DEVELOPMENT.md and clarifying instructions in the new ENV_SETUP.md file.

Additionally, while many URLs were updated to reflect the new ByteTrix branding, I noticed a few remaining instances of the old itskavin URLs in README.md, SETUP.md, and DEVELOPMENT.md. Since these were outside the changed lines, I couldn't leave specific comments, but you may want to update them for consistency:

  • README.md: lines 361, 362, 452, 454, 455
  • SETUP.md: lines 45, 582
  • DEVELOPMENT.md: line 88

Overall, these are great changes that will make it much easier for new users and contributors to get started.

### **2.1 Environment Configuration**

The heading level 2.1 is a bit confusing in the document's structure. To improve clarity and consistency, consider making this a top-level step in the setup process. For example, you could change this to ### **3. Environment Configuration** and then renumber the subsequent IDE Configuration section to 4..

Suggested change
### **2.1 Environment Configuration**
### **3. Environment Configuration**

5. **Copy the entire cookie value** (everything after "cookie: ")

```env
COOKIE_DATA=_session_id=abc123...; user_token=xyz789...;

The example for COOKIE_DATA here includes a trailing space and semicolon. This might be confusing for users copying the value. To make it clearer, I suggest providing a cleaner example without the trailing characters, similar to the one in the 'Final Environment File' section.

Suggested change
COOKIE_DATA=_session_id=abc123...; user_token=xyz789...;
COOKIE_DATA=_session_id=abc123...; user_token=xyz789...

The 'Raw View' method can be a bit confusing as it doesn't specify where to find the cookie and date headers. To improve clarity, it would be helpful to mention that cookie: is part of the request headers, while date: is found in the response headers.

Suggested change
- `cookie: ` (copy everything after this)
- `date: ` (copy everything after this)
- `cookie: ` (in the request headers part, copy everything after this)
- `date: ` (in the response headers part, copy everything after this)
