Part 2

This week I started by building my site using Git and Markdown (I am running on windows). I also used VS code as a code editor to edit the markdown code used in my website.

Step 1: Download & install Git

  • Visit the official Git website git-scm.com
  • Download the latest version for Windows.

Step 2: Install Git

  • Run the downloaded installation file.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions. Accept the default settings unless you have specific needs.
  • Step 3: Verify Installation
  • Open Command Prompt (cmd) or Git Bash.
  • Type git –version to verify that Git is properly installed.

Coding in Markdown on Windows

Step 1: Choose a Text Editor

PS: I choose VS Code. - Download a text editor like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or Notepad++. - Install the editor on your computer.

Step 2: Download & use a Markdown Template

Step 3: Writing in Markdown

Use Markdown syntax to format your text. For example:

# Title for a heading. 
- item for a bullet list.
**text** for bold text.

NB: Save your changes regularly.

Step 4: Preview Markdown

Some text editors have a Markdown preview feature. Use this feature to see what your document will look like.

Step 3: Using Git to Store Files

Step 1

Use git add file_name.md to add your Markdown files to the repository.

Step 2: Commit

Type git commit -m “Your commit message” to record your changes in the repository.

Step 3: Push to a Remote Repository

Push your changes with git push origin master
