Assignment 1 (30 min)

Read Turing Instructor David Whitaker's article on Git and GitHub

  • Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below.

GitHub is an online git repository that allows for changes to be tracked. When someone is working on a project, they can make commits, or "snapshots" of their current work. Each time they do that, they can "push" their work to GitHub, which saves that snapshot for others to see/access or for the same user to access from another local machine. A collaborator (or the same person on another computer) could then "pull" the commit, which will transfer the project at that moment onto their local machine. This process can continue over and over, with pulls and pushes happening from different local machines/users.

Assignment 2 (10 min)

  • Watch Tim's video on classes and objects.

  • In the space below, come up with your own example of a class (like "bottle") and several objects (like "spray bottle", "nalgene", etc.):

Within the class "chair", there are several objects, including: recliner, camping_chair, adirondack, rocking_chair, beanbag.

Assignment 3 (60 min)

Skim this intro to Markdown. It's not necessary to memorize because you can always come back to it as a reference.

Next, create a new gist of your own by clicking the New Gist button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Create a "Beginners Guide to Git" documenting your git knowledge so far using Markdown. Incorporate each of the following features into your Gist:

  • at least one bold word/phrase

  • at least one italic word/phrase
