week2: project managment

objectives: 1.learning about git and how to use git 2. creating a website 3. editing my website

we started the week by learning how to sign up in gitlab and learning about documentation. the best way to document is to use the same laptop and to rename every file and image. gitgitgitgitgitgitgitgitgitgitgitgitgit i heard the word git a thousand times this week

so what is git? Git is an Open Source Distributed Version Control System. to explain more and break it down: Control System: This basically means that Git is a content tracker. So Git can be used to store content — it is mostly used to store code due to the other features it provides. Version Control System: The code which is stored in Git keeps changing as more code is added. Also, many developers can add code in parallel. So Version Control System helps in handling this by maintaining a history of what changes have happened. Also, Git provides features like branches and merges, which I will be covering later. Distributed Version Control System: Git has a remote repository which is stored in a server and a local repository which is stored in the computer of each developer. This means that the code is not just stored in a central server, but the full copy of the code is present in all the developers’ computers. Git is a Distributed Version Control System since the code is present in every developer’s computer. I will explain the concept of remote and local repositories later in this article.

for building my website i used brackets. first, i tried atom and brackets but then i found brackets much more easier and faster. lastly, after editing and editing i used gitlab to push. the commands i used are : git pull, git add -all, git commit, git push
