Ongoing learning of Git and GitHub #7

Open hjpretty opened 1 year ago

hjpretty commented 1 year ago

This repo is designed to be able to have an updated file pushed from my computer using GitBash to automatically then update the ghpage here https://hjpretty.github.io/authorities/ I was successful in doing so, as can be seen at the link I added "TEST PUSH" to the top of the file. The other issues I've listed are more descriptions of problems I've encountered than actual issues. I don't feel like I've done a particularly elegant job using Git and GitHub, but it works. I still have a lot to learn!

This is an overall ongoing issue about learning Git and GitHub better. Learning by doing, right? Now that I'm more aware of how I can use these tools, I'm sure I'll think of more projects to utilize them with. :-)

@hjpretty i really like the simplicity of this repository. are you writing the HTML in the README file by hand, or copying it from confluence?

if you were to write using markdown, instead of HTML, you'll notice that markdown has lousy support for tables, so I use a third-party tool for this. This is my go-to: https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables

workflow for making tables is either starting with the tables generator site, or starting with Google Sheets, copying to the tables generator, then copying the markdown from that tool into the Markdown file.

I'm copying the html view in Confluence and pasting directly into the README.md file. The html for the table is included in Confluence, and I was delighted to find out that ghpages read it just fine as a table from the markdown file.

Thank you for pointing to tablesgenerator.com. I will very likely follow this trail of breadcrumbs in the future!
