Meredith, Bob, and I met this afternoon. Our assignment from Alex:
- Put an issue on github
- create an item in our individual omeka installations. Then back up the database.
- create a branch called playground and break the site
I ran into some problems early on. My commits were out of synch with github and nothing seemed to work: I couldn’t pull or push, but wasn’t getting any prompt, just a long message about the importance of messages. Meredith found this incredibly helpful command: git reset –hard origin, which seemed to solve the problem, and was the most important thing I learned today.
We also created an item in our individual Omeka installation, created a branch, and changed the color and font in the style.css file, and created and resolve issues. I’m not sure if I successfully backed up the database. I’m sure I broke something.
