Fork the Template Repository from top right corner
Create a new fork, ensure that Owner is selected as your GitHub username and repository name can be named as :
<YOUR_NAME>'s-profile-service
Example : rohan's-profile-service
Now when you have forked the repository. Clone the template repository using the below command in your command terminal
git clone https://github.com/rohan09-raj/profile-service
Open the cloned repository in your local IDE (IntelliJ IDEA / Eclipse).
CHANGE STEPS FROM HERE
Now that you have the code in your local. Next thing to do is: Complete all the TODOs present in the repository except one i.e. Paste your Chaincode here.
We will do this remaining part in Step-15.
Run the code locally using the following command:
mvn spring-boot:run
After you have started your JAVA application running, go to Postman, ensure that you are logged in.
On Home page, you will be able to find Send Request button as shown below. Click on it
After clicking, a new tab will appear something like below

Click on the Send button and you will get your own details that you have entered something like below.
Great 🎉 🎉, you have tested your APIs successfully, now we need to host your service, so that you can verify your Real Dev Squad account.
You can host your service on any dynamic hosting platforms. We will be using Heroku here, so make sure to create an account on Heroku.

Enter the valid app name as per your choice, make sure you have entered a name relevant to the app and available on Heroku.
Then click on Create App.
Wohoo!! you have successfully created your Heroku app, now you have to deploy the code in your local to Heroku.
Now you will seeing your deploy section of the Heroku app as below.
In the middle of the page, you will be able to see various deployment methods like Heroku Git or GitHub etc. You can use either of them, mostly we use Heroku Git or GitHub one.
If you select Heroku Git, there will be instructions given just below the options to execute in your Terminal/Command Line Interface
Follow the instructions as per in the given order
After you have run this command git push heroku master
Wait for few minutes or seconds to get the deployment done

git commit -am "<ENTER_YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE>"
git push heroku master
If you were using the second method of GitHub to deploy your service
git add .
git commit -am "<ENTER_YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE>"
If your branch name is master then use this
git push origin master
Otherwise,
git push origin <ENTER_YOUR_BRANCH_NAME>
Now that you have pushed your code with the chaincode. Enter your deployed service URL here.
