1. Setup a basic project

Initialize a new project

Setting up your project for minting is done via a set of command-line tools. Start by cloning a sample repository, and replace it with your project contents.

Replace [my-project-name] with the name of your project.

git clone https://github.com/public-awesome/stargaze-tools [my-project-name]
cd [my-project-name]
yarn install

}
address: stars1us0r08kr3jtr0h74skk46hl6cmtsrptlqyfstl

Now edit config.js and fill in the above mnemonic and address in their corresponding fields.
