This is a simple tutorial project. It creates a task list application using Laravel. It uses Blade for the user interface.
For the sake of credit, the tutorial can be found on Udemy at this location:
https://www.udemy.com/course/laravel-beginner-fundamentals/learn/
The tutorial has several projects. This is the first one.
This is my second run through the project. This time I will add a few of my own fields and features. Also, I'm going to add another challenge. The tutorial uses Laravel 10 but I'm going to use Laravel 11. I'll have to figure out how to accomplish the tasks set out in the tutorial using the newer framework.
Most importantly, this time I'm creating a GitHub workflow where I have created the GitHub repository first, then cloned the (empty) repository to a local repository. Now I'm going to create branches as I move through the tutorial.
I'm also going to merge branches using GitHub's "Pull Request" feature rathere than Git's "merge" feature. I've never done that before and I need the experience.
If you make one tiny mistake your whole project is now overwhelmingly confusing. I made the mistake of editing something in main without adding/committing/pushing it. Then I created a new branch. Now I have updates in the new branch as well as the one small update in the main branch and I cannot get them to merge both locally and in the remote repository. It seems that it's one or the other and they keep writing over each other.
Well, I finished the tutorial. I refreshed my memory about many of the basics about Laravel and got a lot of practice using Git with GitHub.
