Week 1 - Learning Journal on Git
tutorial and Personal Webpage Design
For this week, the
assignment is to get familiarise with Git as well as to develop a
personal webpage that introduces myself as well as pen my
preliminary idea for the final project. This webpage is the
assignment itself and the final project idea is included under its
own dedicated page.For the webpage design, I used Sublime Text together with
Sea Monkey. I find Sea Monkey very easy to use and it
accelerates my learning of the html language greatly
I learn that to make the text and images automatically resizes
to fit different devices from W3Schools.com, the html page must
have the follow command lines at the <head> section:
<head>
<meta
name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style
type=img {width: 100%; height:
auto;}> </style>
</head>
On Git
Git is completely new to me and took me quite a while to understand what is it and how it works. From the videos I watched and the discussion with my coaches, I have summarize what I understand about Git in the picture below
Thankfully the tutorial within the Fabacademy.org was easy to follow.
Gitbash was already pre-installed in my laptop, so I start using Gitbash and add my Git username and email using the following commands
git config –-global user.name
“kokeng1969"
git config -–global user.email “kokeng1969@gmail.com”
Thereafter, I followed the instruction and generated the SSH key
successfully
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "$kokeng1969@gmail.com”"
After the I
displayed the SSH key, copied and added the SSH key
To
display: cat
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The next step was to
create the Local Repository, I did not create a new directory
and try to directly clone my student repository.
The cloning process was unsuccessful and I was unable add the
index.html nor any other files according to the steps given in
the Git Simple Cheat Cheats.
After consulting my coach Mr Steven, I realized that it is
better to create a directory before cloning. After doing this,
the cloning is successful.
