I know…the Git puns just write themselves! Even our instructor has dropped a few: “Well, let’s ‘git’ on with this!”
In all seriousness, we all now “git” Git! (Sorry…couldn’t resist another one.) We created a repository, went back and forth between the CMD prompt, GitHub, and Visual Studio Code at a dizzying pace. I took feverish notes, trying to keep track of it all. For our training, I’ve decided to go old-school and just write out all my notes. Every time I try to type notes, I find I don’t mentally retain anything. This has been working out much better.
We all ultimately prevailed and managed to not only create masters and branches in GitHub, we also used Ampps to create localhost copies of our web pages and code. For my HTML & CSS exercise for Git, I (natch) came up with a knitting theme: “Knitting is the New Yoga–NOT”.
I even managed to repair the repository that I’d managed to mangle in the Pre-Work! So exciting…
I can’t wait until tomorrow to do more!
