Week 1

Principles and Practices, Project Management

The first project involves setting up our Git repository. First I installed Git in my Windows laptop and I familiarized myself with Git Bash. I had some issues when I wanted to clone the repository from GitLab. Jason, our instructor, helped us Windows users to setup an SSH key so we can safely clone the repository to our machines. When I entered the git clone command, I was always prompted to enter a password which no matter what I set the password to, I always get it wrong. I tried multiple times but it didn't work, so I ended up copying the HTTPS link from the Git repository to my and used that instead.

For my text editor I used Brackets. I also installed GitKraken which is a nice GUI for the repository.

I followed the Codecademy tutorial for Git in order to educate myself on how to use Git. It's a nice and brief introduction to the different Git commands.

Final Project

There are 2 options for my final project:

• DSLR motorized Gimbal
• Drone

I will decide in the coming weeks.
