Getting Started with GitHub

github-learning-lab[bot] commented 4 years ago

Welcome to your repository!

In this repository ^:book:, you’ll learn how to write with Markdown ^:book:, a simple and widely used markup language for formatting text. Here, you’ll start building a static webpage for your customized portfolio.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight syntax for communicating on GitHub, and many other websites. You can format words as bold or italic, add images, and create lists. Markdown is regular text combined with a few non-alphabetic symbols, such as # or *. You can use Markdown with the formatting toolbar in issues ^:book: and pull requests ^:book:, or you can type the syntax.

You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:

Comments in issues and pull requests (like this one!)
Files with the .md or .markdown extension
Sharing snippets of text in Gists

For more information, see “Writing on GitHub” in the GitHub Help.

Let's get started!

Step 1: Create a Task List

A task list creates checkboxes for people with access ^:book:in a repository to check off. They're very useful for tracking issues and pull requests.

If you include a task list in the body of an issue or pull request, you'll see a progress indicator in your issue list.

Watch out! The syntax for task lists is very specific. Be sure to include the spaces where required, or else they won't render.

Example markup

- [x] Additional markup is supported, including @mentions, #references, [links](url), **emphasis**, and <del>HTML tags</del>.
- [x] List syntax is required.
  - You can nest lists below, too!
- [x] This item is completed.
- [ ] This item is not complete.

Rendered

[x] Additional markup is supported, including @mentions, #references, links, emphasis, and ~~HTML tags~~.
[x] List syntax is required.
- You can nest lists below, too!
[ ] This item is complete.
[ ] This item is not complete.

I didn't see a task list in that comment. Remember, a task list starts with the syntax - [ ] and then the task list item. The formatting is specific! Try again with a new comment. You can copy this one if you would like to see how they look:

- [ ] Turn on GitHub Pages
- [ ] Outline my portfolio
- [ ] Introduce myself to the world

If you would like assistance troubleshooting, create a post on the GitHub Community board. You might also want to search for your issue to see if other people have resolved it in the past.

Step 2: Turn on GitHub Pages

Nicely done @cwau0109!

Now let's turn our focus to the content of your portfolio. Because this portfolio will display as a static web page, you'll need to enable GitHub Pages.

:keyboard: Activity: Enable GitHub Pages

Under your repository name, click Settings.
In the GitHub Pages section, use the Select source drop-down menu to select master as your GitHub Pages publishing source.

I may take up to a minute to respond as I wait for GitHub Pages to create a deployment of your repository.

For more information, see Configuring a publishing source for GitHub Pages in the GitHub Help.

Return to this issue for next steps.

Take a look at your published site here: https://cwau0109.github.io/markdown-portfolio/

As we add content throughout the course, this site will update.

I've closed this issue and opened a pull request for you to work on headers in your portfolio.
