Node.js core does its best to treat every platform equally. Even if most Node developers use OS X day to day, some use Windows, and most everyone deploys to Linux or Solaris. So it's important to keep your code portable between platforms, whether you're writing a library or an application.

Predictably, most cross-platform issues come from Windows. Things just work differently there! But if you're careful, and follow some simple best practices, your code can run just as well on Windows systems.

Paths and URLs

On Windows, paths are constructed with backslashes instead of forward slashes. So if you do your directory manipulation

1. Clone project

2. Checkout all branches that contain the files that should be moved

3. Delete the remote

4. Run the filter-branch command:

   git filter-branch --tree-filter 'mkdir -p /path/to/tmp; mv * /path/to/tmp; mkdir subdir; mv /path/to/tmp/* subdir/' --tag-name-filter cat --prune-empty -- --all

   • All files are first copied to a temporary dir and move from there to the new destination

• Existing tags are updated

1. Install prettier
2. Make a .prettierignore file, and add directories you'd like prettier to not format, for example: **/node_modules
3. Run prettier --write "**/*.js" *Don't forget the quotes.
4. Optional: if you want to format JSON/SCSS files too, replace js with json/scss.
