BrianMunene: Pre-course, 1 week

Learning Objectives

• GitHub:
  • [x] 🥚 Creating Issues: You can create a new issue in a GitHub repository using an issue template. You can correctly use labels, milestones, and assignment to make your issue findable.
  • [x] 🥚 Searching Issues: You can find issues in a repository by label, author, and milestone.
  • [x] 🥚 Project Boards: You can use issues on a GitHub project board to track your class assignments and help your classmates when they need it.
• HYF Workflows:
  • [x] 🥚 Check-Ins: You can use the check-in template to track your module learning objectives, your weekly progress (and to post a retrospective at the end of the module). You create one check-in issue per module in the class repo and each Thursday you add a check-in comment to it and the label for the corresponding week. After review, we add the checked label. No need to remove previous labels either. So as an example, after a 5 week module, you would have 5 comments and 5 labels added by you.
  • [x] 🥚 Deliverables: You can create an issue for this module's deliverable and track your progress on the class project board. Each week, there are different assignments / deliverables. If it is an individual project, you create your own deliverable issue for it in the class repo. If it is a group project, the entire group creates 1 issue together in the class repo.
  • [x] 🥚 Asking for Help: You can use the help-wanted template in your class repository's Discussion board to ask for help, and to help your classmates when they are blocked.
• Your Computer:
  • [x] 🥚 File System Management: You can create and organize a new folder in your personal computer for the materials you will study at HYF.
• Visual Studio Code:
  • [x] 🥚 Install and manage extensions
  • [x] 🥚 Open a folder for editing
  • [x] 🥚 Create new files/folders inside of the folder
  • [x] 🥚 Edit files and save changes

Week 1

• [ ] I have pushed my progress to my fork of exercises repo

I Need Help With:

Nothing much at this point

What went well?

I have really enjoyed installing software, VS Code, and its extensions. I hope to further enjoy writing clean code in it :relaxed:

What went less well?

Initially, it seemed as if understanding Git and Github would be a challenge. But it seems that things are finally working out.

Lessons Learned

It is important to read through the fine print when looking up documentation. I have often missed some crucial information such as when installing some of the software due to skimming through the info. It is important to use the appropriate naming and labels on Github to make it easier for our projects to be Discoverable

Sunday Prep Work

I am currently working through the Workflows for the Sunday Prep material and more specifically the Before material. I have found working on Github locally to be slightly challenging but I think I'll get over the line before Sunday. I also hope to understand NPM commands better.

Other than that the learning process and self-discovery is thrilling :heart_eyes:
