A Brief Background
The first thing you might be asking is, “What is react-three-fiber?”. According to the documentation:
“react-three-fiber is a React renderer for three.js on the web and react-native”.
The renderer is responsible for rendering React components to the DOM and native views. This means that we are able to create regular React components and let react-three-fiber handle converting those components into three.js primitives (3D objects).
Now the next thing you might be asking is, “Uh… what is three.js?”. Another snippet taken from the documentation gives us that answer:
“Three.js is a 3D library that tries to make it as easy as…
GitHub Pages is an excellent place to host a site for your portfolio or a project, but another helpful use for it is to host JSON API data.

With how intensive coding can be, a bit of lightheartedness goes long way with easing the stress. And since we basically don’t leave our chairs until the work is done, why not make our Terminal throw insults at us if the wrong commands are typed in? Lets get started!
When something incorrect is typed into the Terminal, you’re normally greeted with this:
(Cheat codes to make your life easier!)
Navigating through your directories can be done on separate lines in your Terminal. But this is inefficient.
