Dev Guides - Getting Started

Welcome to your first Dev Guides on the Pins team! This assignment is your fist assignment in our Dev Guides classroom and this aims to learn the basics about Git and GitHub and learn you how to coding. Once joined to our main GitHub organixzation, you'll also grant access to our assignments and classrooms.

To get started, 📺 watch your first video here first.

Setting up your workspace

  • Sign in or create your GitHub account first.
  • Accept the assignment by clicking here. (Accept permissions for the GitHub Classroom OAuth app if you're on GitHub Classroom for the first time.)
  • Once accepted, GitHub elves will create your own individual repository from an template repository. When done, access them at https://github.com/MadeByThePinsHub/dev-guides-gettingstarted-yourusernamehere where yourusername is your GitHUb username.
  • Additonally, install Git and Atom for your computer to get things started as we're using them throughout the assignment. (See this mini guide for more info.)
  • (Optional) Join our community on Google Classroom using the class code 4as5kr.

Improving the GettingStarted-devguides repository

It is beneficial that you take advantage of the resources presented to you, but Andrei Jiroh would also recommend that if you find instances where things can be improved, then please create an issue in the original repository here. If you are not familiar with issues in GitHub, no worries, you will learn about them soon.

Spoiler alert: While we adopt GitHub's Campus Advisor Training repository, we wrote them from strach.
