Description

Linnk to notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18T8ICjxWNiuIsgughanOuQ13U34Igx1EIaeEePGxf5A/edit

A

Okay, so we've got the digital experience. Team we've got the um the design group and we're just going to go through kind of learning about git making commits how it works using terminal with the end, hope and goal that we're going to be able to add ourselves to the org chart, which I find in this fancy way, which is just google get lab org chart.

A

um So I'll look for me, so we've got oh, we can close that didn't even know that did that um we've got our four full-time staff and we're gonna add everybody else here.

A

So I thought I would just cover this weird thing called terminal. Anyone ever open this on your computer.

B

Yeah once or twice.

A

Cool um the way I open it is command spacebar and I just write, start writing terminal and then it'll find it, and then it opens it for me. That's like the super elite way to do it. If you know geek speak so I would suggest everybody opens that right now, I'll show you how it works.

A

So here's your finder in here, if you write um ls, you'll, see all the folders where you currently are so the terminal is like currently listing ls's list and if I do ls-l list it in a list, it's a little easier to read.

A

So this effectively is the geeky version of what we're looking at here in the graphical user interface version so um ls is to ls is to list where you are ls-l in a vertical format.

A

So other things you can do commands are kind of useful. Is this pwd? This shows you on your computer, the path to where you currently are. So you can see here I'm in emprois, it's my home folder outside of that. I don't really see it, but there's users so pwd.

A

Let's see you know where you're at I kind of think of like using terminal sort of a little bit like once you get a handle on how to move around your file structure, it's kind of like if you're playing a video game, it's how you like move forward backwards, left or right so like ls is like. Where am I like?

A

What's around me, pwd is like: where am I and then, if you want to go into something cd, which is, I think it's for change directory, you can put you know I have this git lab repos folder, you can just start typing it and then press tab and it will fill it out for you and now you'll see it says, get lab repos here and if I type pwd I now know I'm in gitlab repo, so visually. This is where I am, and I can check that again by going ls-l so confirmed.

B

Do you need to have git lab downloaded on your computer? First.

A

Not yet we're gonna get to there. These are all just like um to get into that gitlab repos. I just made that so to get into that specific folder you would have to. But um let me just write cd is for change directory. What did tyler make? There was probably smarter than me wrote it no cooler. Looking.

C

Away, oh, he didn't make it. He found it and shared it with me.

A

C

A

Another thing that I rely on is, if you just google, get no deep.

A

It goes to it used to be called that used to be the url, but I think he's they've moved it, um but it still goes to the right place. This has a whole for when we get into git. So what we're talking about right now is not get commands, but this is useful.

A

So these are git cheat sheets, that's cool! What I'm talking about here! This is just uh simply navigating.

A

Within terminal- and you can see the difference, um you know how we're just writing pwd and it's doing something if we do get status, we're saying get so it's like saying: do this thing and then the command that's associated with get I'm not in a git repo. So it's not going to do anything for me.

A

So what we're talking about right now is just how do I move around to get to the place that I want to get to so www.getlab.com?

A

You won't have this, yet this is what we're going to set up.

A

Next, why isn't it.

D

A

So this there's another thing you can do with ls: you can do ls. This is kind of useful, sometimes ls-la. So the a is all so it'll list, there's files on your computer that start with a dot those files. Unless you set up um finder to show them they won't get shown because they are usually configuration files. So you can see all of git. This is the version control.

A

I guess you call it software. um That is what power is gitlab.

A

Any questions so far.

C

What does pwd stand for? I feel like I'll. Remember it better if it means something.

C

A

Think it's probably path something: okay, print working directory, oh yeah, p, is print print. Echo there's like these terms. That is like display this thing.

A

I've got a crying child downstairs, um okay, so forget to move on from there. This this is like you'll. Probably just have to I'll make this bold. So we know what this is. I wish we could un un-capitalize these we'll figure that out later, um that's just getting to where you need to go, so why you would want to use that is anytime, you open terminal, if I close it again and open it.

A

It always opens you back at your root user file, so we usually keep our code in a different file just so that we know where it is you're just always going to want to get to where your code is, I'm sure someone who's smarter than me knows how to like actually make it open to where you want it to be, but I'm not that sophisticated.

A

So that's how we move go forward back side to side. If we wanted to go so cd into something. If we wanted to move back, so we can see we're in git lab repos. If we do cd, um is it slash? Let me just try this yeah, so cd dot dot is back one.

A

One directory, and then you can continue to do that you can be like. I want to move back one two three and you eventually eventually get this like mental model of like knowing where you are so. If I go into get lab, repos www, like you, can jump right into there too, you can see if I go back one I'm in repos. If I go forward back into www and then say, I want to go back to I'm back at the root, so it's just how you move forward backwards and and side to side.

A

Don't get too hung up on it because I think if you overthink it it might be more complicated than it actually is.

A

So why don't um is everybody at your root like users and then your username a way to get quick way to make sure you are, there is just press cd and enter it'll, always return you back to there.

A

So if you press pwd, are you effectively at the home section for your account on your computer.

A

D

A

D

I think I am I don't. I don't have the same sort of full structure as you, so it's.

A

Do you want to how about you share your screen, sure.

A

Oh, you made a repos already tina, you have and you have the code pulled.

C

Taylor made it for me.

A

Thanks er, can we see this yeah? That's that's great. That's exactly what I see perfect perfect. You have parallels installed, so you can run windows.

D

That's what I did to play a game so.

A

Yeah, um can you go into your sites, folder cd sites.

D

uh What do I type in cd, yeah.

A

Change directory space uppercase s, it's all uh case sensitive. If you press s, I and tab it'll automatically, fill it out for you and press enter and do ls or ls-l, whichever you prefer.

A

There's nothing in there great! um You can use that one.

A

uh You can stop sharing if you like, how are you doing jess? Do you.

B

Think I'm good. It says: jessica's macbook, home money, dot, sign, correct.

A

B

Maybe we should keep it all.

A

Similar stephen: can you do cd space dot, dot, slash to get back one um and we're just going to copy tina's set up so that we all in case we need to refer back to it. We can do it, so everyone who's not tina once you are in that root directory. If you can type okay I'll share my screen again,.

A

M key mk m key mkdir make directory and put um get lab repos with this camel casing. Camel casing is when the letters are connected and the one is higher, so you can kind of read it, but there's no spaces, because space is and code make issues sometimes.

A

Let me just do this too, because I have a different one but whatever so I did it and you can see here there. It is that's what we just made. So we made a directory, it's the exact same thing as going double clicking and saying new folder, but I don't just thought I'd show you how to do that.

D

Mine didn't show up in a directory.

B

A

Okay, let's uh see what you did, who money you can share. First, yeah.

D

B

B

Okay, that's all I did mk dir get lab repos. Is that right? um I.

A

Just see um the zoom right now: oh there we go. Can you do in your terminal? Oh because you're in recents, if you click.

A

Just just in your finder, you were in reasons I think, if you click.

B

Home in your finder.

A

Home yeah click home.

B

Okay over here- oh, why is this not.

A

I think there's.

B

Just some delay in the screen share so okay.

A

B

Oh yeah zoom makes my uh oh gosh. I still have lululemon stuff in here. um Caleb goes here. We go yeah.

A

Sweet, so you did it great um cool. Do you want to share your screen? Stephen.

D

D

Sick, so I typed in this here. Can you see my screen yeah yeah and I typed in this here and then I don't. I don't have a home.

A

Yeah, it wouldn't be there. uh Oh right, I see what you mean um if you click into finder and then you click or press command, um comma in in the.

D

In the terminal.

A

No in finder make sure finder is selected and press click command, comma.

D

Where am I looking for finder sorry,.

A

uh Click on the thing that says recents to the right of terminal, yeah that whole thing click on it see how, in the top left of your computer, it just said finder now it says: finder, oh.

D

A

That means that what you're going to press is affecting that application. So if you press command comma, that's the geeky quick key to open the preferences.

A

um If you click sidebar.

A

And then, if you click stephen mcginnis with the little house, oh yeah, you can close that thing. You just opened the preferences and now there you go there we go. We did.

D

A

Another way to confirm that if you go back to your terminal, scroll down and press ls dash ll by ls space dash, l you'll see it in the list there get lab repos sweet. So let's go into that folder in terminal. How do we do that.

D

Oh sorry, like jesus stop sharing with me.

A

We want to change directory and go into it. So did everybody do cd space get lab repos?

A

Oh I'm just sharing just that screen hold on.

A

So if we do pwd is oh, I didn't go into it all right, cuz. I have a couple.

A

So if we do pwd do we see get lab repos at the end thumbs up.

A

You know what to do and then okay, so you wrote git lan, repos cd, so that's what's nice about if you just write cd and then do uppercase like gi since there's no nothing else in that folder called gi. If you just press tab, it'll avoid any typos.

A

So now, if you do pwd.

A

We're in that folder, that's awesome. You can stop sharing just how are you doing over there.

B

I think I'm good great.

A

Okay, next we're gonna go to the affectionately known the dub dub dub repo, I'm just going to give. Actually, if you go I'll, show you how I get there, because it's a little different for everybody.

A

um I found a setting in gitlab that my home screen is actually my to do, which is great, um but yours might look a little bit different it might. I can't remember how to get there anywhere now, but I can go to projects and see www.

A

um Sometimes I see this screen and if I see this screen to get to the www repo I just put in www and press enter and then I'm there or I'm not there, I select it and then I'm there.

A

So that's this I'll put this in the chat.

B

Just to make sure we're all getting.

B

A

So now what we're gonna.

A

Do I'm not sure if we're gonna have to clone this or not or if we're gonna have to initialize git or not, can does everybody see this screen.

A

Thumbs up so you should see over here clone.

A

And let's clone with https, if you press this copy that url and then go back to terminal we're going to do our first git command and see if it works, I have a feeling it might fail, but we're going to write git clone space and paste that press.

A

Enter yeah definitely tina.

A

Is that working for you jess.

B

My computer is just really slow with them. That's right, uh zoom going so just like taking it.

D

A

B

A

Then you you go to this page and then you copy this https url.

A

Let's take a look at what you've got stephen sure.

D

Can you see this page yeah, so that's what I got.

A

We git command requires the command line, developer tools. We like to install the tools sure.

D

A

D

Have to do that.

A

Does that look, it usually goes a bit quicker, but this might um it won't won't go extremely quick. Did you have to do that.

C

You're on mute, I followed a different uh handbook page to do all of this. Okay.

A

So I did every.

C

Yeah I'll go I'll, dig it up. While you do this cool.

B

B

D

B

A

So it should look like.

B

D

So here I'll share.

A

A

So terminal should be doing this thing, so what it's doing right now clone is like copying.

A

So it's seeing what's in that repo and it's returning it and if I go to my terminal or sorry, my uh finder window you'll see it's pulling pulling means like getting the files from where they are in the repository and putting them onto my computer. So right now it's receiving all the objects.

B

Can I share real quick because mine I just keep hitting enter, and it's just like going down on the line? It's not actually. Oh.

A

Yeah, let's see okay, this is probably some issue in the command.

B

Sorry zoom the other way um yeah so, like my hand, hurts just like, and it's gone. Oh sorry that was just okay hold on.

E

A

Oh, so it's probably just running that because there's nothing wrong with how you facing that. Still it's just doing what it's supposed to be doing. It's just taking a little.

A

While, okay, we can run brew, install.

A

What do you mean corp, tina.

C

um This was the what um luke shared with me or matt, um and it was tied to like now it's corporate marketing, it's just apparently a different repo.

A

Oh okay, that's fine! Yeah.

C

But the steps are more or less the same.

A

Yeah steven, can you cancel that install.

A

Of the developer, tools doesn't really matter, but you probably can I'm pressing stop button? Stop okay! Well, you can just go. Can you show your screen and we'll just go back into terminal.

E

A

Just have you done anything in get like had you used get before on your computer.

B

No interesting I've only used the like online version.

A

Got it so if you just press copy and paste that brew, install get probably don't have brew, but let's see if it works.

D

uh From this one here, yeah brew, install git.

A

You don't have bro. Okay, that's.

A

Like I'm just googling.

A

It okay, so I think you need to run the command that says, install homebrew that first one there's a little like clipboard icon.

A

I just sent you in the chat: it's if you just go to brew.sh in your terminal or sorry in your um browser.

B

Is this something I should be doing to do.

A

Well, yours seems to be running so.

A

Yeah, if you click that little icon to the right, it's copied to your clipboard now um just can you try pressing option x.

A

And stephen, you paste and press enter yeah and then that's your password, but it's going to look like you're, not typing anything in, but it's your computer password. It just doesn't like do any indication that it's you've typed anything.

A

Look at this stuff you're doing we're hacking.

D

We're hacking, I feel, like samuel jackson and jurassic park,.

A

Hold on to your butts hold onto your boots, uh do you want to share your screen jess? Can you boost I'll.

D

Stephen over here, yeah.

A

B

Get out of here.

A

You could also.

B

Just watch next do.

A

Cancels the command you just um it should cancel the process. You just asked to do, which is the git clone if nothing's changed, if you're just seeing that nothing happening.

B

Yeah, I just got the little kind of double double thing going on.

A

Should you try, I never know these off my heart. Is it control x, maybe.

B

Nope wait what's new.

A

B

This is cloning into gitlab.com. Oh.

A

No see it's doing what it's supposed to do. You have somehow like don't touch anything gets going on. Okay, so that's cool that'll. Take it. It's probably.

B

Just my computer being super slow, it's usually.

A

So stephen, um can you share your screen? Please.

D

A

Let's go back jess while that would it go faster if you close zoom and just rejoined when it's done pulling the files or does.

B

A

Yeah, try that just pop back I'll.

B

Try and see what happens.

A

uh What does this say, yeah just press return.

D

E

Mildly entertaining it feels like you're doing something huh I.

D

Know and yeah you see numbers and stuff. Look at this! Oh, oh, oh.

E

Look at this, what is.

D

E

You made a lot of new tags: good job- oh god,.

D

Yeah, look at me: go all the way up all the way up to 3.0.0. It doesn't get any higher than that.

A

Maybe 3.1.1, but you know.

D

One step at a time.

A

So these, like homebrew, and these things are just little um like developers- have made these packages to make it easy to install these little bits of software.

A

So what we're trying to do right now is in is just install git on the computer, because git is just like a a program just like old school like photoshop, or things like that. So we need to have it so that we can run it or it can run um using the commands that we're gonna feed it so you're installing this thing called homebrew.

A

That makes it easy to install just get, whereas what you had installing in the background is apple's developer tools, which is like a 10 gig package that includes git but is mainly focused on um you know you can design iphone apps and all it comes with this whole fleet of tools within it.

A

um Tina, I can get you started on something. Have you made a branch before.

C

Yes, awesome, but I did it with some hand holding so we're.

A

Going to do it again, do you want to.

C

Share your screen.

A

A

It's a real pleasure to watch that install stephen but we'll go to.

C

Okay, um how do I make this black.

A

C

A

To preferences oh you're in oh terminal, yeah go preferences and go. I think profiles. No, oh, is that it oh yeah.

D

A

D

You're looking for dark modes.

A

Yeah you guy dog, pro.

C

Oh, that's good! Okay! Let's do that.

A

And then you have to close the terminal and then reopen it.

C

E

C

Time, that's okay, I'll figure.

E

It out no, no we're doing this.

C

Didn't work background, oh because I just maybe just if I just change the background.

A

I don't know because it changes everything.

A

Mine is basic, and it is that color.

A

I know that you have to like: do the change and then restart it? Oh.

C

A

You got it, but then all the.

C

A

Is going to be black.

C

A

C

Yeah it'll be: oh, that's not good, and I don't want it white white. Let's just make it almost white. That's too white! There we go there. We go okay.

A

You did that. um Okay, sorry, I that was somehow satisfying to watch. um So yes, let's go into your folder. That has your code.

C

My folder, that has my code.

A

Yeah, so I think you'd want to go cd space, um get lab, repos tab and then do the video tab it automatically. You can do it all as one or you can do it individually, all good. um So you want to go now cd into www.

C

Refill, okay, next time, I'll use my cheat.

A

You're fancy, so you press, yeah, there you go press enter and then um I always do a git pull right away because that's going to pull the most recent code because everything like what gitlab the product does and what git does is allows code to continuously being updated by multiple people, multiple people at the same time.

A

So right now, it's polling. Everything has changed in the code base that you have on your local computer. So when you hear.

D

A

I'm working on my local, it means they're working on the computer, not on the code. That's on the server, so there will be tons and tons of changes because our code base is active.

A

Development, oh jess is back.

A

It's not gonna, be a zillion of these.

A

It's pretty quick. So that's cool, hey jess, how's it going.

B

Well it it started working as soon as I got off zoom and it was going well and then all of a sudden it fatally aired out. So oh no.

A

That's because I made you press one of the command or option access.

B

I can stop sharing, we can go back.

C

B

Come in not found for that one, so, oh.

A

Let's take a look.

A

How's your install going steven.

D

It's going good, I think it's done. uh It said it could not link. There's one error, then there's next steps hombre's entirely. All volunteers uh can.

A

D

Brew install get command.

A

Oh yeah, please, I saw a.

B

Dog, um whose screen.

A

Are we so yeah.

B

It like started: it's mine, my menu okay, um yeah, like started like doing all this stuff and it got 100 on these and then whatnot and then all of a the subnets like early eof.

B

You know I don't fatal, um but the little tilda thing says command, not fans. I don't know if that was actually an issue or not.

A

If you press here's another little trick, if you press up when you have terminal selected, I think right now you look using your finder press up again. It goes to things that you've already typed. So why don't you pop off zoom uh and then.

B

A

B

A

Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Actually. Can you show your screen again, one more time.

B

A

Can you type in get space here I'll put it in the chat, git space dash, dash version.

B

Right after this one.

A

uh Just delete everything you have in there.

A

Press uh delete just press and hold delete.

A

It's not a dumb question. It's super confusing.

A

2.24.3 great okay, so you have get installed. So we don't have to worry about doing what we're doing with steven here. So yeah press up until you get to that git clone command again and then yeah, then just pop off zoom and let's see if we can have some luck by getting that extra juice redirected at your computer. The mainframe.

B

A

D

Stephen all right uh sure.

B

D

Was doing all kinds of stuff so, as you can see, I.

A

I never read any of this just for the rest.

D

I'm just trying to see it.

A

I wait for it to end and then I just cross my fingers that if you write get space dash dash version, it tells you something.

D

Yeah I put in created it to start doing all this business here with all the hashtags and oh there you go brew, installed, git, and then it did all this business.

A

So if you type get space dash dash version, what this is doing is saying: hey what version of git do. I have.

A

Installed great, that's the one I have too so it's now installed. So now, can you press up until you get to that clone get clone command? I think that you typed it in too right keep going, keep going that one press enter.

A

This indicates to me that it's working.

D

Yeah, the little dot dot keeps me on the edge of my scene.

A

Oh, can you stop sharing continue? Can you sure I feel like I'm playing chess against a bunch of people right now? Okay, so you pulled. Can you we're going to start to use git a little bit now so I'll I'll? uh Oh yeah, we're recording this so just can watch it. um We never work on. The master branch master is production, which is what you know when you go to about.getlab.com.

A

That's what our customer and anyone coming to our site or using our product sees so what's beautiful about git. Is we can work on branches? So it's the exact mirror of the code. That's live. We can do all our little changes and then we want to merge the branch, which is what a merge request is so it it's literally like if you think of tree branches, branches of a river. Whatever, like we're going off or making changes, a merge request is, can you please merge this code back in? What's beautiful about git?

A

Is it says, yeah totally, let's just check the code. That's currently live in your code and make sure there's no conflicts. No one's written over the same files that you've written and if there are it, can actually look at the exact changes against the changes that someone else did and you're not deleting anyone's code you're able to make it all work together.

A

So what I always do, I have a bit of a like when you write code for a while. You get a lot of neuroses. So what I do a lot. I write get space status all the time. Just I don't know why I just will go, get space status and then you're like okay, um oh I'm not in the right repo hold on.

A

And I'll be like okay cool, it's up to date, I can see here I'm on origin master um a lot of times I'll, do git space branch to see like what branch am I on? So, if you do that tina get space branch, it will probably say master.

A

Yeah you're a master, you can see those old branches. Do you need those old branches anymore.

C

um No, I don't think so. They were for um netify cms work.

A

We can that's great that you have them. We can learn how to delete them um as we go through stuff here, where.

C

Do you see that I have branches different.

A

C

A

Where it says five, two five, three two three dash web pack asset pipeline yeah, that's.

C

A

Branch? Okay: um I am dash eight three, that's it.

C

Oh yeah, this is when I was working on a page. Okay,.

A

And you can see that master is green with the.

C

A

Asterisks, that means that is the branch you're on okay.

A

So what you're going to want to do is make a new.

D

A

And that's what I I don't know why I think I have it memorized now, but that's when I look at that. Git guide that I shared and I'll um like to get no deep that I look for. I go. I open that and I find search on the page like with command f. I just look for branch and it's like usually the second thing in branching and I scroll down, and I know now that it's get check out slash b, which means you're going to check out a new branch, but.

C

Where do you search on this.

A

So if you just do command f.

C

Oh it on this page.

A

Yeah and then go right branch and then I press.

C

A

Down arrow once in the search thing like this just again, these are like the neuroses of how I do it. Okay, don't uh don't worry about it, so.

A

Your I don't see on your list of things to do is there I don't think it check out b like get checkout, you need the dash and then it wouldn't be in quotes dash.

C

A

Yeah, so that's saying check out branch.

C

A

C

A

C

To make one right.

A

Yeah we want to name it, so I would probably call it like. If I were you, I would do like uh get dash check out dash b space tng dash, adding dash myself dash to dash um or chart adding myself to org chart with dashes in between.

A

I just usually call them like my first initials. Everyone has different ways like that: one with the number 5323 that's an issue. So that's a clever.

D

A

To do it too, but what we're doing here is we're making changes, we're making a branch locally and then we're going to merge it into the into git lab. So there is no issue and there is no merge request, we're making the merge the branch here and doing it of a quicker way.

C

So check out also creates branches. I was using.

A

C

Existing branches.

A

Yeah dash b is what creates it without the b it switches to the branch. Okay, so you press enter, and then you write so it says, switch to new branch. Again I am totally neurotic, so I would write get branch.

A

Give myself a little serotonin boost press enter and see the green beside the branch. I just made and say good job by me. Yeah um stephen: where are you.

D

At it is still um receiving objects, okay, cool. So it's good.

A

Business so tina. What um text editor were you using for code? Did.

C

Lauren, have you.

A

C

A

C

Don't have one.

A

We did you change any code.

C

uh Yes, what did you use? I think that we just used the text edit yeah.

A

C

A

Lauren tyler.

C

Tyler, we were doing it quickly, but he did. He did tell me.

D

To get something, and now I've forgotten everyone everyone's getting thrown under the bus here, god.

C

Did I may have even I might have something, but I I won't remember now we were trying to.

A

C

Done quickly here.

A

I use this um and it's newer to me. I used a different one before, but this one's kind of nice um and very common good for editing code. Why don't you go ahead and install visual studio code or vsc? If some cool people call it.

C

Did you put that somewhere? Oh.

A

Yeah, I put it in our get 101 class one, oh okay, sure doc.

C

um Should I keep sharing, or should I just install this, you.

A

Can stop sharing yeah? You can stop sharing uh I'll share just so you're you're still rolling over there stephen it's still pulling files.

D

Yeah I'll keep you updated. It's 42 minutes.

A

Great um I'll put start documenting some of these git commands that we've covered so get status. It's basically like, what's up.

A

um And kind of like, where am I.

A

A

I don't know how to write this so that we know that the colon isn't part of what we would do just do this.

A

What branch am I on hey, jess,.

B

Hey it worked this time, hello.

A

Awesome I added um this link to visual studio code. Stephen. You could also download it while you're waiting for that stuff. um So installing this app is what we're going to use to edit the code.

A

So if you could go ahead and do that, I'm just making some notes about some get stuff we covered. While tina was working ahead.

A

A

B

We just need to download this app. That's all right.

A

Yeah and then you can open it.

A

Is that everything we covered in a status branch check out dashb, I guess get check out we'll check out an existing.

A

Local branch- or you can.

C

A

Did we oh yeah, we did a poll right yeah thanks the.

C

B

A

Yeah, I guess we did clone too so I'd get clone, get.

A

B

Is this um visual studio kind of like sublime text.

A

Yeah exactly do you use sublime text? I do if you.

B

A

Can just use that okay.

B

Just use that for now.

A

Cool, that's what I used to use I and I'm way more proficient in it. For some reason, I struggle through visual studio code, because someone says it's better and I'm like well, I'm slower in it. So I guess I'll keep using it pull the comments you want to work on, get paul.

E

Update files from the branch.

A

Okay, I just added some notes.

A

I'm just gonna stop sharing for a sec. So where are we so jess has get installed? She has the code pulled. Pina has get installed. You have the code pulled you've made a new branch.

A

I have made a branch. I have a code code pulled steven you're pulling the code, we all have a text editor installed.

A

Can you share your screen? Just don't worry about sharing your screen. It's too slow, I'm going to walk you through um making a branch. So am I still sharing my screen? No I'll share my screen.

A

So this is this is what you're going to do so you're in the folder that you pulled the code? Is that correct? If you do um pwd you're in the www.getlab.com folder.

B

um I might get labor repo, so how do I get down to gitlab.com.

A

Who can help jess with that.

A

Tina stephen.

C

um Cd and space and then start typing a w and tab, and it might show.

C

B

A

So now, while you're in there you can, this is again I was explaining to tina like when you do this long enough. You just kind of get these neuroses, so you don't need to do this, but I just do it I'll I'll write, get branch, get space branch and then just make sure I'm a master just so I know where I'm at.

B

What do you mean when I make sure I'm on master.

A

B

When you enter.

A

Yeah, when you press enter, it will should say like uh ask which.

B

A

Green master, so git allows us to work on multiple branches to push to master. We never work on master, so another thing I would do right now is: I do get space pull, which is going to make sure you have the most up-to-date code before you make your new branch, because when you branch any changes that go on master or anyone who makes a new branch after you has different code, this is what's amazing about git. It's totally mind-blowing.

A

And we're coming up on time, so I think if we get to the point that we've made a new branch and we're ready to make these changes in our next one on 101 class, this has been a hugely successful session.

B

um So I wrote git space pull.

A

B

A

B

A

Okay, so it probably is taking a second.

B

Okay, another one of those.

A

B

One downside to remote work.

A

Yeah yeah, I know it's like you need the super computer.

D

Yeah, I'm not 55 percent. So still, oh.

A

You're just going slow.

D

Yeah, it might.

A

D

It might be zoom as well.

A

I doubt it you've got the same computer as me right yep, yep yeah. Yours is just going slow. Maybe your internet's slow.

D

It's nothing great yeah.

A

A

A

Does anyone have any ques while we're waiting for processes to run? Does anyone have any questions or thoughts or anything any information needed.

D

Many questions just don't know where to start. um I like this. I like learning about something like this personally, like I don't know if I have specific, like technical questions, yeah definitely probably have to revisit this, because it's like a new endeavor all together for me, and it's definitely good to know and understand, I'm beginning to kind of get the crux of it yeah. I think.

C

A

Gonna help us go ahead.

C

The thing is, if you don't do it every day, which is what happened to me, um it's really easy to forget. So I like michael, that we you're having us do this once a week because over the holidays, for example, I couldn't re-access some of the work I was doing on the cms because I'd forgotten, half the codes and didn't understand how to get there, and I couldn't ask anyone to help me.

A

C

A

Like super tech, though, like I don't no way, I know what I'm doing there like. I just do what lauren tells me yeah and then, when it works, I'm like magic.

A

What like so, the the level just to level set with you, like the amount of effort and complexity for the mrs we're gonna strive to do weekly is about a tenth as hard as what you were doing.

C

Okay, good, it's.

A

Super easy and, to be honest, like we could do this all through the gitlab um interface, but I think learning my belief is like learning what's under the hood makes what's happening there, a lot more logical and it's gonna help us understand what's great about git, which is going to make us be able to design a better experience, um communicating our tool.

A

So there are easier ways, but this is the cool way and if you do this, if you make a change to the handbook and like you know, brandon or laura or lauren and um tyler saw you do it. This way they'd be like these are cool people, so we're also going to gain an appreciation for what they do day in and day out, because they see all our figma stuff and they they understand. What's hard for us, and you know: it'll just be a bit less of a black box.

C

Is this the process we would take if we wanted to make a readme.

A

Yeah, exactly that's another great one. Let's do that add that to the list.

C

A

Great idea, so we'll do first steps of what we're striving for is we're going to add ourselves to the chart and then we're going to make a readme and the readme what's great about the readme. Is you can just like do one paragraph and then continue to work on it? So you can keep doing. Mrs to that.

B

um Real quick yeah, you bet.

B

They went through. I just got like a lot of stuff that showed up. So oh.

A

Yeah does it say, like this all makes sense.

B

A

All right, so what you're seeing there is like that file that says fikai custom commit suggested, change.yml, there's 17 changes to that file and they're all editions in that second file. There's two changes, there's an addition and something was deleted. I never read any of that stuff. I just like click things and be, like don't say, an error if it doesn't say an error, I'm like short memory. It's like okay, that never happened. Let's keep moving forward and just keep praying that this is gonna work cool, so you've got your code up to date.

A

um We've got three minutes jess I feel like we can make uh a branch for you. um So if you do um get so, what I told tina is I go to that link that I shared um sheet the get no deep one, and then you just do like command f on the page to find branch. It's. The second instance gets you into like the branch area. I always just refer to that. I know it in my head.

A

I know it's get check out b, but I never trust myself because I'm not doing this day in and day out anymore, but that's just in the future when you're like. Oh, I don't remember how to do this, that's just where you can find the information, but in terminal you're going to want to write, get space check out dash b and then the naming structure I typically go with is like my first two initials and then what I'm trying to do so for you. I'd probably do like get space.

B

A

Slash b, uh sorry gets dash b, gets dash b, okay, get space.

B

Check out dash b.

A

Yeah and then space after that, I would do jh dash adding myself to get lab org chart with dashes where all of the spaces would be computers, don't like spaces when you're working in code, which is why I'm always saying that stuff.

A

Okay and then you press enter, and then I would write get branch enter.

B

Oh, it says: check out dash b is not a get command.

A

Did you write it like that.

B

What'd you do do I need to do a capital git.

A

No everything keeps capitalizing, oh.

B

Is there a space dashboard.

A

Yeah yeah yeah.

B

Okay: okay, let me try again.

A

If you press up and then press it'll go to that command that you already wrote and then if you press over the cursor will go over and then you can add a space, so you don't have to type at all.

B

Okay, take two okay switch to new branch.

A

Yeah and then I again, the neuroses kicks in, and I just write get space branch to make sure that it's in the branch I want to be on is green with the asterisks awesome. So today, we've learned in closing how to open terminal use just straight up terminal commands to navigate forward back side to side through our file structure, we've learned how to make a directory from the terminal and we've learned how to install git we'll never have to do that. Again.

A

We've learned how to clone a code base. We've learned how to pull the most recent code from that cold code base, we've learned to check what branch we're on and we've learned, how to make a new branch and we've all downloaded a text editor to edit code for our next session, which I'll get on the books um sometime I'm off next week. I kind of want to keep this rolling so I'll, see if there's time tomorrow or if anyone's open to it on friday.

A

um Next steps will be to add us off and then merge the branch great job everyone this is like. I know this seems like a lot, but like you do it once and it gets a lot easier. So I'm super impressed we're actually farther than I thought we would have got. So. Thank you for being open to learning and being vulnerable, and I look forward to continuing to learn together.
