Learning Git basics

I started off with the git cheat sheet in fabacademy tutorial page fabacademy.org , learning the prerequisite git commands.Other tutorials in sites like atlassian.com were also view to getmore idea about Git and version control. Installed Git bash and required software files for running it on my system. My repository in gitlab.gabcloud.org was cloned to my local system using the git clone commands as mentioned in tutorial

.

.
The following commands were followed to clone my repository locally
1. Open git bash terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type
2. git config --global user.name "your username"
3. git config --global user.email your mail id"
4. In order to sync files with local repository type
5. git clone "your gitproject url"
6. Since i had used http protocol for pulling and pushing the files simple add the below url https://gitlab.fabcloud.org/academany/fabacademy/2019/labs/kochi/students/joel-alex.git which was obtained from my gitlab account.

Changing from markdown to html

After cloning the git repository i found that the the sample project was written in mark down. So i tried to learn the fundamanetals of mark down edting with their tutorial in mkdocs.org. I had installed python pip package manager as mentioned in the site for installing mkdocs package. After proceeding for a while i understood that templates available for the mark down is very less in number. So i decided to move to html. A template was downloaded from website and added in my local git repository
