project manegment

This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.

Software to download

git

What is Git?

Git is the most commonly used version control system. Git tracks the changes you make to files, so you have a record of what has been done, and you can revert to specific versions should you ever need to. Git also makes collaboration easier, allowing changes by multiple people to all be merged into one source.

Installing git

I chose to install git bash here for terminal usage and git GUI just to simplify the mission and

basic git bash commands

  • cd stand for change directory

  • git add Adds files in the to the staging area for Git

  • git commit Record the changes made to the files to a local repository

  • git status This command returns the current state of the repository.

  • git clone To create a local working copy of an existing remote repository, use git clone to copy and download the repository to a computer.

  • git push Sends local commits to the remote repository.

  • git config git config is how to assign these settings. Two important settings are user user .name and user.email. These values set what email address and name commits will be from on a local computer. With git config, a --global flag is used to write the settings to all repositories on a computer.

setup git

To set your global username/email configuration:
  • Open the command line.
  • Set your username: git config --global user.name "username 
  • Set your email address: git config --global user.email "MY_NAME@example.com

get started

Cloning my remote repository

  • step 1:I created a directory Desktop\fab academy\git to save my repository.
  • step 2:From my account in fabcloud in gitlab, I copied the source URL to clone with HTTPS.
  • step 3: In git bash command I used cd to navigate through folder to access git folder that I have created .
  • step 4: then I used git clone command to clone my repository through copied https URL
  • step 5:after that I jump into my cloned repository to make changes on it .

    • atom

    Atom is a text editor where you can open Markdown files found in the cloned directory and edit them. first time when I worked on this project I was write Markdown code then upload it just for testing but after several attempts, I found an amazing tool on atom if you press CTRL+SHIFT+m you can preview your changes before uploading them into remote directory so this tool will save your time for sure .

    for my page design i choose a pre built template from HTML5 UP then i edit this template to make my documentation bag ready

    down there I will explain what I edit exactly and some HTML basics

    Basic Tags

    • html Creates an HTML document
    • titlePuts name of the document in the title bar; whenbook maing pages, this is what is bookmarked

    Text Tags

    • h1 -->h6 Creates headlines -- H1=largest, H6=smallest
    • b Creates bold text
    • code Used to define source code, usually monospace
    • strongEmphasizes a word (usually processed in bold)

    Links

    • a href="URL" Creates a hyperlink to a Uniform Resource Locator

    Lists

    • ulCreates an unordered list
    • li Encompasses each list item

    Graphical elements

    • hrInserts a horizontal rule
    • img Adds image; it is a separate file located at the URL

    this is some of html tags and how to use it , personally, I use them mostly when I write my documentation, there is a lot more to explore in HTML and its capabilities so you can take a look at w3schools or you can use this HTML Cheat Sheet for time-saving after some practising
