You will ensure you have everything installed that you need, get practice using the command line, and use Git.
After completing this assignment, you should understand:
- The basics of how to use Git
- What directories and files are
After completing this assignment, you should be able to:
- Install software using Homebrew
- Stage, commit, and push files using Git
First, ensure you have set up your Mac correctly by following these directions.
After you have done that, create a file called output.txt in this repository. On the command line, run the following commands:
$ brew --version
$ python3 --version
$ pipenv --version
Copy each of these and their output from your terminal and paste them in output.txt. Add this file to the repo and commit it.
Next, install Git-it, a tutorial program that will walk you through the basics of Git and GitHub. To install it, run:
$ brew cask install git-it
This should put the Git-it program in your /Applications folder.
Git-it will tell you to install Github Desktop. You do not have to install this, although you can if you want.
When you try and run Git-it, you may get a notice that the application is from an unknown developer. If so, right-click on the application and then choose "Open." You will be presented with a dialog -- choose to run the application.
Once running, complete the tasks in Git-it.
You're done! The first day can be easy for some people and hard for others. Help out a classmate. If you really want more to do, check out Introduction to Programming with Python and get a head-start on tomorrow.
