Lab 0: Git Started 🔥

Welcome to the INFO343 lab!

Throughout this year, the labs will be unique times that Evan will teach new cool web technologies, have various academic & industry relevant exercises, and incentivize collaborative group work.

Thoughts from Evan:

I'm gonna teach some really cool stuff that won't explicitly be covered in the course material, and highly recommend you actively work in lab to become a better developer and web designer!

Jumping In!

• Finish installing all of the necessary software (all 5 bullet points)
• Fork and clone this repository
• Once cloned, create a new branch, call it something like dev or development or lab
• Do some coding — it doesn't have to be much, your HTML & CSS exercises are due later
  • Put something cool or interesting in the index.html file
  • Style your code with styles.css and link it to the index.html
  • Feel free to use the live-server tool from Wednesday for testing
• Once you've finished coding, add, commit, and push to the new branch you just created

  Sometimes you may get something that looks like: git push --set-upstream origin dev -- in which case, just copy paste that into the command line and hit enter

• After you've successfully pushed to your new branch, navigate to the forked repo on Github (eg https://github.com/{YOUR USERNAME}/lab00-git-started)
  • You should see a button like this (click it and make a new Pull Request!):
  • The PR should pop up with some pre-defined text (not super important, but you can find it in the .github dir in the repo). Fill out the PR and add the necessary screenshots:
  • Pair up with another student, send eachother your PR links (eg: https://github.com/{YOUR USERNAME}/lab00-git-started/pull/1) and give eachother feedback!

  💡 Feedback can be finding bugs, having them fix code style, variable names to make more sense, or just questions on why they did stuff! Read more about that here!

  • Submit the PR link on Canvas (eg: https://github.com/{YOUR USERNAME}/lab00-git-started/pull/1) You don't need to submit anything today, showing up is your participation credit! However, do make sure that you know this PR process, it will be important for doing homework assignments!
