You will slowly iterate on your Portfolio over the whole course of CYF. You need to build your portfolio so you can use it to get into The Launch module, and then later use it to apply for jobs.
This module we're exploring a branch to branch pattern in Git. Read the readme carefully and follow the instructions.
Bring your portfolio to class to get help and feedback from your community. Writing a great case study will help you understand how to explain and present your work to recruiters and employers. Your first case study doesn't have to be great, don't panic, but it's important to start one.
Explore and revise
If you want help or to break the "blank page" fear for writing your case study, try getting a first draft from Claude and then revise the text to express your own ideas.
It's not a good idea to let AI write everything for you. Why? (One reason is you cannot "stand out" by copy-pasting the same bland verbiage everyone else is copy-pasting.) What other drawbacks are there? Discuss in class.
You've written quite a lot of reflections and technical writing by now, just by doing pull requests. Can you take some inspiration from that work?
