Gittin’ my Star Trek project to the final frontier
After attending the Strange Loop conference in St. Louis this past weekend, I am both in awe of my programming peers and also doubly motivated to continue working my project. After explaining the gist of my gender + Star Trek + data analysis idea to a few awesome lady coders, they implored that I put it on GitHub immediately.
So on the way back to Chicago, I taught myself GitHub with the help of Jessica Lord’s awesome tutorial Git-It and put those new skills to work.
First, I downloaded a prettier terminal — Hyper. Just like all of all of the people before me, I feel like such a badass when I use the command line. Gotta thank 80s hacker movies for that.
What I learned while putting my project on GitHub using bash commands:
$ pwd(where am I?)$ mkdir(new home where my amazing code can live)$ cd(getting to the right place)$ touch(new files to replace my random runkits)$ git init(tracking my biz)$ git status(plz no code red)$ git add(moving on up)$ git commit(too late for cold feet)$ git push(real good, dun dun dun duuuun)
And at long last, here it is in all of its glory, my first ever GitHub repo.
