Resources

• Git Basics Tutorial
• GitHub For Beginners
• Command Line Interface Basics
• Git For Ages 4 And Up

Topics

• Introduction to Version Control with Git.
• Basic Git commands: clone, add, commit, push, pull, branch, merge.
• Setting up and using a GitHub account for project management and collaboration.
• Command Line Interface (CLI) basics and its role in software development.
• Essential CLI commands for navigating directories, managing files, and using Git.

Learning Goals

By the end of this week, students should be able to:

• Understand the concept of version control and the importance of Git in software development.
• Perform basic Git operations to manage version control in their projects.
• Use GitHub for hosting code repositories and collaborating with others.
• Navigate and execute basic tasks in the Command Line Interface.
• Apply CLI commands to work with Git and manage code versions efficiently.

Homework: Documenting CLI Commands with Git

• Objective: Utilize Git and command line interfaces (CLI) to document and version-control a series of CLI commands.
• Step-by-Step Guide:
  • Initialize a new Git repository on your local machine for this project.
  • Create a file named README.md in your repository. This file will serve as the main document for this assignment.
  • Write about a CLI command you've learned this week in the README.md file. Describe what the command does and provide an example of its usage.
  • After writing about the command, commit the changes to your Git repository with a descriptive commit message that reflects the additions.
  • Push the commit to a remote repository on a platform like GitHub after each command is documented.
  • Repeat this process for a total of five CLI commands, ensuring each command is committed and pushed separately.
• Deliverables:
  • A README.md file in your repository that documents five CLI commands learned during the week.
  • A series of at least five commits showing the incremental documentation of each CLI command.
  • A link to the remote repository showcasing the final project with all commits and the push history.

Glossary of Key Terms

• Git: A distributed version control system used for tracking changes in source code during software development.
• GitHub: A web-based hosting service for version control using Git, offering collaboration features like bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.
• Command Line Interface (CLI): A text-based interface used to interact with software and operating systems by typing commands into a console.
• Version Control: The practice of tracking and managing changes to software code.
• Repository (Repo): A directory where Git stores the history of changes to your project files.
