Introduction

To start, it's my first time doing a code. I've seen them, but I never understood them. The first thing I did when finishing the Project Management class was to investigate what Gitlab is and how it works. Next was how to create a web page in Gitlab. All this was new to me, indeed, I made five attempts to make a website on GitHub, only one work, but I finally did it.

What is Git?

To begin to understand Git, I found the book Pro Git. From the book I only read Chapter 1, 2 and Appendix C. With this I clarified a little my doubts about what Git was like.
In short, Git is a version control system that allows you to control the progress and modifications of your project without the risk of losing your information.

Building a personal site

To start using Git, I created an account on the GitHub platform, because I was afraid to spoil the GitLab platform. I was guided by the pages of Johanna Nordin and Andrea Lazo.
The steps I followed were the following:

Step 1

New

I created a new repository on GitHub.

Step 2

Create repository

I put a name.

Step 3

Import

I imported the template code from the website using the web URL.

Step 4

URL

The web URL is in the clone or download tab of the template repository.

Step 5

Start importing

I copied and pasted the URL and started the import.

Step 6

Open in Desktop

After cloning the repository in my GitHub account, I opened the project in GitHub Desktop. With the repository on my computer, I can edit the template with a text editor.

Step 7

Text editor

I edited the template code in Atom.

Step 8

Changes

GitHub Desktop detects the changes made in the code.

Step 9

Commit

The commit is performed.

Step 10

Commit

Push is done and the changes in the web repository are updated.

Push to GitLab

Once the code is edited locally, I upload the files to the GitLab repository by using Git bash. As shown in the linked video.
The commands I use are:

$ cd "repo directory"
$ git remote -v
$ git add .
$ git commit -a -m "message"
$ git push

Push to GitLab
