   git clone https://github.com/theakhandpatel/Firebase-gallery.git

2. Change to the Firegram directory:

   cd Firebase-gallery

Configuration

To configure Firebase for the Firegram project, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Firebase Console (https://console.firebase.google.com/).

2. Create a new Firebase project if you haven't already.

3. In your Firebase project, navigate to Project Settings by clicking on the gear icon.

4. Scroll down to the "Your apps" section and click on the web app icon (</>).

5. Give your app a name and click "Register App." Firebase will provide you with a configuration object. Copy this configuration object.
