1. Project management

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

Research

I conducted research to understand what GIT is and how to use it.

Git is a distributed version control system that tracks changes in code, allowing multiple developers to collaborate efficiently on a project. It manages the history of changes through commits, organizes work into branches, and facilitates merging different versions. Developers can push and pull code to and from remote repositories, like GitHub or GitLab, ensuring synchronized and organized collaboration. Git also enables selective staging of changes before committing, making it an essential tool for software development.

Subsequently, I installed GIT on my computer and also set up VsCodium, linking it to my GIT account and designating it as my default Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Following this setup, I performed a pull operation from my repository on GitLab. Subsequently, I made modifications to the repository using an HTML page template provided to us as a foundation for editing and uploading our information.

Linking my Git

After i created my git, i use VSCodium a open source alternative to Visual Studio Code. It has the same interface.

I installed the gitlab workflow extension.

Then I created a Personal Access Token so i can link VsCodium to mi FabLab Git.

I give my user all permissions.

After obtenining my token y open the gitlab extension and usethe url of fabcloud so i can login using my token.

Clone

After having my account setup on VsCodium y use a git clone direct from Vscodium explorer to download my git to my computer.

After the cloning has finished my folder show in the explorer tab.
