Exercise 1- Principles & Practices, Project Management



Sublime Text 3 and Notepad ++

I had some web programming background and I am thankful for that as it would be easier for me to pull through this exercise. I was a Notepad++ user back in the days, it was simple and free to use.

Ahh, the good old days...



I was also introduced to Sublime Text 3 by Dorville and Steven Chew, my Local Gurus. I was quite impressed by the plugin, Emmet, it helped me in autocompleting the HTML Code. I felt that it is useful but at times it is quite annoying as I have a habit to close the Tags on myself. But it is never too much to complain if there is a helping hand! :)

Although Sublime Text 3 is free, but it often prompts to pay/donate as compared to Notepad ++ which is really Free! I will be using Sublime Text 3 for this phase of Fab Academy to take this opportunity to appreciate this software!

NodeJS + BrowserSync

Yikes! This is my first time hearing NodeJS! Setup is easy, but to execute it is another!
Browsersync is an add on for NodeJS, I had to use the Command Prompt and run the code, luckily Steven shared with us the code and I had to save it as a sticky note on my desktop!
It works similarly as WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL & PHP), but it is used to "preview" my work locally before it goes "live". And it instantly refreshes my page upon saving the file, how cool is that! 

Code: browser-sync start --server --directory --files "**/*"


Git

Now, Git is relatively new to me, yes I've heard of it, but to use it, no. This is my first time handling and using Git. I am also trying to understand the benefit of it besides being able to share things with the community and to use it in the future as my daily driver.




Generating of ssh key using GIT BASH



After generating, I am required to copy the generated SSH Key to the SSH Key in the Fab Academy profile keys



Adding the SSH Key



Next, I need to Clone the repo



Cloned successfully



testing to push files to Fab Academy Singapore!



Great Success

Same as NodeJS, I will need to note it down for further reference! 

		To create a new repo - git init

		To checkout a repo - git clone /path/to/repo
		
		To add multi files - git add file1 file 2 / git add *

		To add a directory – git add directoryname

		Once files ready git commit –m “put your comments here!”

		To check status -  git status 

		To add push code –  git push --all 
							or 
							git push

		To pull code - git pull


		To remove file  - git rm (result remove from Git and local file system)

		To stop tracking a file but still keep local copy – git rm –cached [filename]
