Hi, this is beekeeper's guide to install all necessary school stuff. Each chapter is broken down to program folders, where you will find README on the topic. Most of these will not come in use, if you are working at the school. Most of the required programs are already installed on the school computers, and those are included in the subjects as well.
For those who haven't already noticed, 42 curriculum which Hive is using, is a Unix based. All the school projects are somewhat associated with Linux or OSX. School computers are Macintoshes. All the commands you will see in the courses are run in these environments. So, if you insist on working on your own laptop and using Windows, you will need to keep this in mind, why this or that command is not available in Windows. Also, exams are done on school computers. It will be much easier for you, if you just install a virtual computer on your laptop, or perhaps do a dual booting system, if you feel that Linux might be your choice. Linux in all it's distributions may seem intimidating at first, but once you get a hang of it, it's far more faster to get on track with all the projects. You don't see 27" iMacs handed to student use everywhere, so take advantage of it. All in all, school is all about peer learning, and the best way to learn from your peers is to see them day by day at school.
To install Homebrew package manager for OSX, you'll need to run
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Github has a great documentation about creating ssh key, but I'm going to repeat those!
First create a ssh key:
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/my-key -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
More about ssh keys can be found at ssh.com
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
-f |
tells you the output location and name of the file. |
-t |
option here states the type of the algorithm used in the creation of the key and |
-C |
is the comment for the file, usually the host of the key. |
Start ssh-agent at background, if it is not already running.
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
To add your new lovely key to your keychain, you'll need to write following command:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/my-key
This tells your ssh-agent program to hang in the keychain, so that is available to use.
From here onwards, it's silly to repeat what octocat has said. So, check these out!
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| cmd/ctrl + k + c | comment selected lines |
| cmd/ctrl + k + u | uncomment selected lines |
| cmd/ctrl + d | every time you press it, when are in you find&select mode, it will go to next occurance (really useful for changing variable names) |
| option/alt + shift + up/down-arrow | copy the line you are on before or after it depending the arrow key you pressed |
| option/alt + up/down-arrow | move line up and down |
| cmd/ctrl + p | opens a search bar that you can find files (so no need to use mouse for opening files :p) |
| cmd/ctrl + shift + p | opens a search bar for multiple commands |
| option/alt + shift + f | automatic formatting (if you have installed the norm extension it follows it) |
| cmd/ctrl + shift + v | opens markdown file to preview mode, so you can view how it looks like in browser. |

Install this plug-in to generate school header with https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kube.42header
-
Match editor settings with school environment (tabs, whitespace etc.) and to render right log-in details in header:
-
Find VS Code settings file at ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
-
Paste following inside the curly bracers:
"42header.username": "smarvin" "42header.email": "smarvin@student.hive.fi", "editor.insertSpaces": false, "editor.renderWhitespace": "all", "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true, "files.insertFinalNewline": true,
