###What is github?
###How can you use Github for Project Management
###How does this apply to me? We are living in a digital world and for version control beyond instant tracking like a google document, we can create schedules and magane a portfolio of design or programming work. Github is an online tool for collaboration and now hosting.
###What now? Lets start by creating an account.
-
Go to Github and create an account
-
email [email protected] with your github username and I will add you to the Hack The Hood Organization
-
If you need help creating or updating a lesson plan or finding a schedule with your information please email or slack your question
-
Once you have logged into your github account and accepted your email invitation to join the organization, you should see a green button in the right hand corner of the screen that says new
- Now that you have access to the organization you can add new repositories, if you would like to create a resource that you would like to share with the community, you want to create a new repo. Give it a name and now you have an empty repository. (folder)
###I want to create a new schedule
Here is an image of a sample schedule, that you can model
###Markdown
When you create a new repository, you probably want to initialize that repo with a README. Make sure you check the box marked Initialize with a README.
Great! Now that you have created a new repository you can add information to your repo. You may want to add folders
-Do you need images (create an images folder)
..*You can not create a folder from github, but you can upload a folder that is not empty, keep this in mind
-Do you have other documents that you need? You will be creating these documents in Markdown.
+Mardown is a language that you use to write your README files
+Markdown Syntax CheatSheet
+If you are working on a MAC, there is a great program called MacDown which you can use to view your markdown syntax and the way it would render
+Here is a video describing the purpose of the readme file
