2. Project management

This week I had three tasks which are as follows:

  1. Setting up my gitlab, fablab and github accounts.
  2. Clone repository and do an offline push.
  3. Update the profile and sign the Student Agreement.

Setting up Accounts

For the first task i setup my Fablabs, Gitlab and GitHub account first, then i signed into my gitlab account and activated Social-sign in and selected both fablabs and github.

Clone the Repository

Creating SSH Key

For the Second task i was supposed to create SSH key

For the second task i must have a Git Terminal in my computer. I downloaded GitBash because it is a powerful and popular tool with tutorials and forums available online. After downloading and installing GitBash, i opened the terminal and entered the following:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C “mymailidhere@gmail.com” and pressed enter key The terminal asked to enter the passphrase. I pressed enter to leave it as blank so as to not put a password on my repository

Cloning my repository

After creating SSHkey I used the following command to show the SSH key in its entirety, I then copied the code and pasted it in my Gitlab profile.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Installing text editors

I was introduced to two text editors they were Brackets and Windows Visual Studio of the two I liked Visual studio code because I can integrate bash terminal.

Integrating Gitbash as a default: 1. Open the command palette using Ctrl + Shift + P.
2. Type - Select Default Shell.
3. Select Git Bash from the options.
4. Click on the + icon in the terminal window.
5. The new terminal now will be a Git Bash terminal.

Creating Website

I had two options for my website one was html based code and other is markdown code, eitherway with my experience I can only edit a template. So, I chose to edit a markdown template as it was simple to edit it required no experience whatsoever.

Virtually it will be like editing a word document with an exception for learning a little syntax for text effects.

Learning the syntax for markdown is simple, this Website will give you a quick tutorial on text editing in markdown. It took me around 5-10 minutes get the hang of it.
I tried my hand in html website but I had no experience in CSS and JSS scripts so I refrained from trying it out. The Advantage I felt was that a HTML website is much expressive and personal so I might try it out.

Template

I got the template for my current website from gitlab which was made by Fiore. When I cloned my repository the website skeleton was cloned in my computer. I am yet to try editing the YML file.

Student Agreement

I have uploaded the student agreement as requested please visit the page titled Student Agreement on my website.
