Four things learned today, Oct 1, 2013
-
When working in Github: “commit often.” Commit every time you’ve made a substantial change. Each time that you commit, you create a version that can be rolled back to in the future.
-
The description field is Optional when you commit. When you are committing something that might change the character or function of the site however, you should provide a reasonably full description of what you have done and why.
-
The GUI is user friendly but it can only take you so far. At some point we will need to use command language. We will learn more about this later.
-
Github allows you to create a virtual machine inside your real computer.
