Creating the Website
I have very little experience with creating websites. Therefore, the local Project Management session at the FabLab was a very useful introduction into creating webpages and styling them
The first thing I had to do was to link my GitLab to my master folder on the local PC I'm using. Using Git Bash I started configuring my account:
git config --"reeman.bustami" (My gitlab user name)
git config --global reemanbustami@hotmail.com (The email I'm signed up at GitLab with)
git config --global core.editor nano
The next step is to generate the SSH key.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "reemanbustami@hotmail.com"
/c/Users/Fablab/.ssh/id_rsa (path to folder in which the SSH key will be saved)
cat~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (to access the public key)
Copied it and pasted it to my GitLab.
The next step is to create the local folder.
I created the local folder at desktop, and saved my favorite template in it. I got the template from free-css and the template is Treviso.
I used Brackets to edit the HTML files. I later realized that the portfolio entries on my homepage do not link to other pages. instead, they link to modals. Since this was not convenient to the kind of content I'd be creating, I added "more" buttons and linked to portfolio pages. For the portfolio pages I used the Blog Post template from Bootstrap. To edit the HTML, I used Brackets. As a start, I've added four pages; Week1, Week2, Week3, and Final Project. I also added a "Coming Soon" page that I linked all upcoming weeks to.
After making changes to the folders I had to push the changes to Git Lab. Using Git Bash, I ran the following commands:
cd Desktop/Websitefiles
cd reeman-bustami (master folder)
git add -A
git commit -m ""
git push
