Installing / Getting Started

A quick introduction of the minimal setup you need to get a Hello World up & running in VS Code.

Install "VS Code" and "Python"
Ensure the "Environment Variable" is included in "the Path" within Python ("Click the Checkbox")
Install the needed "Extensions for VS Code" ["Python by Microsoft, Python Debugger by Microsoft, etc"]
Other Extensions may include ["GitHub, Markdown, Elint/lint, etc"] to utilize GitHub Version Control and other language syntax
Start coding Python
You can run the code by using the following: ["python filename.py"]

Congrats! You just created your first Python file and there's so much more you can do so experiment to your hearts content!

Initial Configuration

Requirements:

• Ensure that the project file/folder and other dependencies you plan to make is within the range for code execution.

• Ensure you have a GitHub account to make project repos and save changes to prevent loss of progress with your code in the future.

Developing

In order to start developing the project further:

git clone https://github.com/username/project-name.git
cd project-name/

After setting up GitHub and the GitHub repo, you should be able to clone/commit/publish your progress as you make changes to the project.

Building

To build the project after some code changes:

commit changes by using the GitHub extensions from VS Code or by using the terminal via commands
stash/push the changes into the main/master branch of the project or in another branch if needed

After commiting and pushing the changes into GitHub, you should see the project repo change to reflect the most recent code.

Deploying / Publishing

In case you want to publish your project to a server:

Ensure that the project is fully functional and give appropiate credit to all contributors/authors.
Provide a step-by-step process of how you managed to complete the project.
Check the project and live server before finalizing the project status.

If you want to use GitHub or any other 3rd party platform for your server, you can but it may prove to be difficult with the lack of updated tutorials for all sorts of software services. [You can checkout the masterPortfolio repo to see how to use GitHub pages]

Features

This project repo has the following:

• Flexible QR customization
  • Set box size, border thickness, fill and background colors
  • Adjust error-correction level for maximum scan reliability
• Optional logo overlay
  • Automatically resizes and centers your logo on a transparent canvas
  • Draws a configurable outline behind the logo to ensure contrast
  • Skips the overlay step if no logo path is provided, for a plain QR
• Pure-Python, zero external dependencies (beyond PIL/Pillow and qrcode)
• Simple, single-entry API (generate_qr()) or granular functions for advanced workflows
• Saves directly to disk and even pops up the resulting image for quick verification
