git add - is to add files

git commit - is to the changes you made

git pull - is to pull from from another repository

git push - is to update all the changes you made and push them to git

git add-- all - is to add all new files

Git is an Open Source Distributed Version Control System. This basically means that Git is a content tracker. So Git can be used to store content — it is mostly used to store code due to the other features it provides.

for building my website i used brackets. first, i tried atom and brackets but then i found brackets much more easier and faster. lastly, after editing and editing i used gitlab to push. the commands i used are : git pull, git add -all, git commit, git push

brackets is a source for editing your websites using html

creating and editing my website

first i searched for html layout websites. these are the two website i looked at while trying to choose a website fabacademy 1. html5up.net 2. bootstrapmade.com

i choose to work with stellar by html5 because i enjoyed the layout and the theme colors

i dowlonded the website's files and then copy paste it in my git folder

to push my website i used git commands in the following steps: 1. git add --all 2. git commit "addcomment" 3. git push

lastly open the website folder then go to your file then right click and open with brackets

the website page will open in brackets and you can start editing, for live editing click on the lighting botton on the right, to make sure its on check if it turned orange

i used an app called procreate on ipad to draw my weekly assignments icons
