Project management.

Project management

I summarize my my experience in the first week Install, understand and configure the softwars. And I also share with you my first ideas about the final project..

1.1 Installation and configuration softwars

The computer tools installed are:

1.1.1 Git and Git bash
1.1.2 Visual Studio Code
1.1.3 Sourcetree

And a special mention to:

HTML

1.1.1 Git and Git Bash

Installing

Git is a distributed version control system that creates local repositories, allows collaborative work, and does not depend on a server.

Git Bash is an application for Microsoft Windows environments that provides an emulation layer for a Git command line experience using unix commands.

Downloaded from the page: https://gitforwindows.org/.

It must be configured from the terminal with the username and email with these commands:

git config --global user.name"username" git config --global user.email"email@com"

List of useful commands to upload files:

$ git status -> to see the status of the files to be updated $ git add public/images/w5 ~Indicate the location and files to be uploaded $ git commit -m " update index" ~attach a comment about the update made. $ git push origin main ~Upload updated files

1.1.2 Installing Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a code editor, This occasion I will use it to edit the page with html. The program was downloaded from the official visual studio website.

In my case, use the editor to program in: - Html - Python

1.1.3 Installation and configuration of Sourcetree

In order to streamline the process of synchronizing code between my local computer and the GitLab repository, I proceeded with the installation and configuration of Sourcetree, a free Git client with a graphical user interface that simplifies version control operations.

Download and Installation

The software was downloaded from the official website:
https://www.sourcetreeapp.com

The installation process is straightforward and guided. During setup, Sourcetree may request the user to log in with an Atlassian account (necessary to complete the installation), and optionally, to connect to remote Git platforms such as GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab.

GitLab Integration

Once installed, I configured Sourcetree to work with my GitLab repository. The steps were as follows:

I copied the HTTPS clone link from the GitLab repository.
In Sourcetree, I selected the "Clone" option from the main interface.
I pasted the GitLab repository link into the corresponding field.
I specified a destination folder on my computer where the project would be stored.
Sourcetree then automatically cloned the repository contents into the selected folder.

This process established the initial connection between my local workspace and the remote GitLab repository, allowing version control operations such as commits, pushes, and pulls.

Initial Configuration (Optional but Recommended)

To ensure smooth synchronization, I also:

Configured my username and email under Tools > Options > Git.
Verified that Git was correctly detected by Sourcetree (internal or system Git).
Optionally configured SSH keys, although I opted for HTTPS authentication for simplicity.

Useful links

Conclusion

In order to streamline the process of synchronizing code between my local computer and the GitLab repository, I proceeded with the installation and configuration of Sourcetree, a free Git client with a graphical user interface that simplifies version control operations.

1.2 First steps of the final project

All-sky cameras are used to capture the passage of meteorites and bolides through the atmosphere, recording the sky throughout the night.

Generally, these cameras are permanently exposed to sunlight, in certain latitudes (between the equator and the tropics) the intense sunlight quickly reduces the useful life of the camera.

This case allows the camera lens to be covered during the day for protection and automatically opens at night.

The project consists of a case that provides access to an all-sky camera with all the electronics and cables, it should have:

Be resistant to heavy rain

Have an automatic camera closing system that protects it from daylight.

an internal temperature sensor that can activate a cooling system

a humidity sensor that warns of water intrusion into the box
