Week 1: Principles and Practices, Project Management

What i Learned about GIT

This is my first time to use git, and its my first time hearing about it! I was wondering why git with an i not e XD

I read learned about it and tried it with Eng. Francisco Sanchez, i realize its a system that helps you coordinate and track the changes in your computer files. I have gone through a tutorial on try.github.io

Honestly, at first I found it hard to cope with it, but day after day I can understand it more, and i believe that by practicing it will become easy. I have learned and apply some of the command lines for pulling the resposiroty from GitLab, then adding the changes and commit them then merging and pushing to the archive. I also learned to clone repository and create my identity, learned to convert and resize picture, learned to convert from markdown to html.

I was fascinated that I can get the status of the changes I have made or the team members, it really helps in tracking the last updates.

The process to upload a files into the repository: 1- git pull 2- git add –all 3- git commit -m “put your message here” 4- git push

the command line to change from Markdown to HTML : pandoc -s -f markdown -t html file name.md -o file name.html

How I made my website

HTML

I have search for a template to develop my landing page (index) from https://html5up.net and added my content and deleted uneeded pages.

I have gone through the HTML language in order to change the template and edit it. It wasn’t so hard as I have used HTML before to create my website in Higher Diploma. However, its all about concentrating and reading carefully, as deleting a small dot can ruin the whole website.

Markdown

I have learned about Markdown which another language similar to HTML. I have gone through a tutorial in http://commonmark.org/help/tutorial/index.html . I have found that Markdown is much easier that HTML and more simple. So, I have decided to use Markdown to document my final project and assignments.

Atom

I have used Atom as my text editor in order to document my project using markdown. ### Brackets I also have used Brackets and found it similar to Atom.
