🔐 Authentication (Clerk)

This project uses Clerk for authentication.

• Users must Sign In / Sign Up before accessing the dashboard
• Protected routes — bina login ke dashboard nahi dikhega
• Profile management & Sign Out via navbar avatar

How it works:

Not Logged In  →  Beautiful Login/Signup Page
Logged In      →  Full Employee Dashboard ✅

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/CodeByTinku/Employee-Management-System.git
cd Employee-Management-System
npm install

2. Setup Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory:

VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=your_clerk_publishable_key_here

🔑 Get your key from Clerk Dashboard → Your Project → API Keys

3. Run Dev Server

npm run dev

4. Open App

Visit http://localhost:5173 to manage your team! 🎉

☁️ Deploying to Vercel

Since .env is not pushed to GitHub, add environment variables manually in Vercel:

1. Go to Vercel Dashboard → Your Project → Settings
2. Click Environment Variables
3. Add:
   • Key: VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
   • Value: your Clerk publishable key
4. Click Save and Redeploy

⚠️ .env file should NEVER be pushed to GitHub — it contains secret keys!
