Setting up a Daily Code Routine For Practice

First Follow the Following Steps:

1. Create a GitHub Account If you don't have a GitHub account, sign up at GitHub.com.

3. Create a New Repository Go to GitHub and create a new repository. You can name it something like daily-coding-practice.

4. Clone the Repository Clone the repository to your local machine:

<git clone https://github.com/yourusername/daily-coding-practice.git>

5. Set Up a Daily Routine Decide on a specific time and duration for your daily coding practice. Prepare a list of resources or projects to work on. This could include coding challenges, tutorials, or personal projects.

6. Write Code Daily Create a folder for each day, e.g., 2024-05-21/, and add your code files in it. For example:

Change all dates to match current dates.

<mkdir 2024-05-21> <cd 2024-05-21>

7. Commit Your Changes After you finish coding, add and commit your changes:

<git add .> <git commit -m "Add code for 2024-05-21">

8. Push Changes to GitHub Push your changes to the GitHub repository:

9. Review and Reflect At the end of each week, review your progress and reflect on what you've learned. Document your progress in a README.md file or a separate log file in your repository.

10. Engage with the Community Share your progress on GitHub by updating your repository regularly. Engage with the GitHub community by contributing to open-source projects, participating in discussions, and asking for feedback.

11. Use GitHub Features Utilize GitHub Issues to track tasks or bugs. Use GitHub Projects to organize and prioritize your work. Explore GitHub Actions for automation and CI/CD.
