This is a test of the Glitch platform to see if we can use it for CoderGirl lessons.

First thoughts:

Eep! Accidentally asked to join a project when trying to figure out how to see if I could "Save" it
Hmm: How do I follow people?
You can ask for help!

Since the live page updates in real time, this is not a great platform for prompts. The browers brings the preview tab to the front, if open and updated
Sometimes a brand new project is made even though I'm the owner of the project I'm editing.
It was unclear that adding forward slashes / to the name of files would effectively place them in new directories.
- Displaying files in a flat manner like _/css/styles.css could help reinforce path structure for students.
Glitch can connect to a GitHub repo, will need to test out that workflow and how commits might work
- Some commits can be made by clicking "Advanced Options" > "Export Project" button via the project dropdown in the top left part of this browser.
- Could not successfully set up remote in Glitch console
Not sure how the built in Glitch Debugger and Console might work into the CG coursework, yet.
- Oh! git is installed in the Glitch console, which is a shell! This is where CGs will need to do their git work
- Ah! You can create directories and files via command line in the Glitch console. (Doesn't refresh automatically, but that's how test/test.txt was created: mkdir test; touch test/test.txt; vim test/test.txt.
