Include installation instructions #2

Open dpshelio opened 1 month ago

dpshelio commented 1 month ago

From previous workshops, this is what I had:

Account on Github
Download VS Code (or vscodium - untested if gh connection works too)
Install git
- Windows?
  - Follow the Bash shell installation instructions ~~Install GitHub Desktop~~ (that doesn't help)
- Mac?
- Open a terminal window
- Type:
```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
- Follow the installation prompts
- Once it's installed, run: brew install git to install git.

I think the install instructions are fine - install vs code, then install git. I don't have a "clean pc" to test but I can try a VM. We need to enable Bash in vs code? Or that config step is in the taught session?

dtwwwc1e commented 3 weeks ago

I will have VM to test on Monday.

I will have VM to test on Monday.

Tested out on a VM Windows, all ok for a fresh install. VSCode run fine, Git acting as expected. Bash allows git gui too which I was not expecting. So install instructions all good.

I have not tested out vscodium, or access to a Mac. I will try the first one when I can get a VM again. Can't promise the Mac.

Installed vscodium on windows and did some local staging, and commit. Working ok.

Did the connection to github worked with vscodium? i.e., being able to push without ssh keys but by pressing push?

dtwwwc1e commented 4 days ago

I didn't test vscodoum - github. Will test it today or tomorrow

dtwwwc1e commented 4 days ago

Yes, vscodium - github push and pull / fetch works - I already have ssh keys set up (and am using ucl laptop) but I used the HTTPS connection (https://github.com/dtwwwc1e/repo32.git). Push went fine, following various confirmation steps; and fetch / pull worked too.
