jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

The site is now live! https://jjaimealeman.github.io/wdb-get-good-with-git/

Now that the homepage is functional, I want the readme.md to explain better what we are trying to achieve here.

CURRENT GOALS:

FUTURE GOALS

What are your thoughts guys?!

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

Sounds good to me. I have just read about git/github flows (had never heard of them), and I will have a nose at your commits and messages (my working style can also be a little hap-hazard at times - but I will try my best!). As for git and Windows, I lack any experience in that department.

Same here. What distro are you on again?

Pop OS 21.04 here 👍

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

Pop OS 20.04 on my desktop, Ubuntu 20.04 with pop shell on laptop.

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

Pop OS 20.04

Love it. Previously I did all the *buntus, Arch, Manjaro, Crunchbang, my own minimal Debian install with openbox and i3wm, Suse Tumbleweed, and a bunch of others. But I stuck maintaining with Debian based. Always wanted to compile my own kernel and do Linux Fromt Scratch, but not on this laptop - maybe some older Thinkpad?!

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

Haha yeah, its hard not to try them all out with so much choice. I did very similar, but swap crunchbang for bunsenlabs lithium.

Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

To be completely honest i know nothing about git/github flows.

Me neither bro. I just do the basics. We can follow that too - keep it simple ;)

Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

I would like to work on responsiveness of aarons page and the home page.

Sure thing brother. Go ahead.

I've been quite busy today. Learning Github API. Since I saw your movie API page, it really motivated me. Yall ever use ThunderClient in VS Code?

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

Yeah Thunder Client is awesome.

Thanks @Shakti111 , I did some new work to my page last night that I haven't committed, but the markup template is there.

@jjaimealeman I'll have a go at expanding the readme if I get time today.

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

Yeah Thunder Client is awesome.

I'm playing with the Github API and want to pull the last few commits and display them on my little page. Making progress but I gotta go to bed soon.

I don't know why, but Github doesn't popup a browser message when there's activity here. Weird. So I had to install a Firefox extension and it work well!

G'night guys. More work to be done tomorrow.

Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

@aaron-watts @jjaimealeman i am trying to add some new features like adding a hamburger menu so than when the site is opened in a tablet or mobile phone. It would have a hamburger menu (icon) instead of our navbar(home, aarons page, shakti's page). Using some js i would make the navbar slide from right to left when the hamburger icon is clicked ..something like that! Can i give it a try day after tomorrow. Rn i am not free because of my exams??

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

I have no objections to that :)

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

You do you buddy. I won't have much time today either.

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

@aaron-watts @Shakti111

Spent some time working on the readme.md and learned how to create the Wiki (currently blank, as I don't know what to put there?!).

View our homepage and let me know if it needs further explanation, or grammar/spelling corrections?!

https://github.com/jjaimealeman/wdb-get-good-with-git

BTW: thanks guys for helping me get this running! We're off to a good start.

And once we get the homepage ready, we can share with the group and invite more members to collaborate here. What do you think?!

Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

Man your markdown skills are insane. I read the readme and felt like i was reading an official readme of some repository created by professionals. The readme is spot on. I dont see any mistakes. What about u @aaron-watts

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

@Shakti111

So you're calling me NOT a professional? 😕

LOL - I joke joke, haha, thanks bro.

I been messing with the Wiki https://github.com/jjaimealeman/wdb-get-good-with-git/wiki

I don't know what we should share there?! 😳 😕

So for now, I'm sharing some of my favorite VS Code extensions. Should I create a new discussion where we all share our favorites? I dunno.

Ideas? @aaron-watts ?

Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

Guys i cant install mongodb on my 32bit windows8 because they discontinued support for 32bit. Should i install ubuntu. I have heard that is is faster.

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

Should i install ubuntu

@Shakti111

Depends on HOW you install it. Are you considering a dual-boot scenario? Or a clean install and fully wiping your Windows partition?

I don't think WSL is available for 32-bit Win 8 - could be wrong :(

I also don't think a VM will run on 32-bit architecture.

@aaron-watts

Your thoughts?!

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

Good morning from London..

@jjaimealeman readme is looking good, I was going to add some detailed instructions for the forking process if that's okay, I can create a new one and link to it or just add to main, let me know which you prefer. Maybe something for the wiki?

@Shakti111 if your device is 64 bit and you're only running 32 for the sake of Windows 8, then Ubuntu is not a bad idea - however from experience, I'd suggest to remain aware of a few things:

  1. Mongo's current version also does not support the Intel Atom/Celeron architecture, it requires more than a dual core processor now (I hate when things are made obsolete by tech)
    • There is a workaround I used for one of my older laptops of installing an older version, which may work on Windows too, but I would assume that is much easier on Linux
  2. Hardware compatibility isn't always quite there for things like wifi drivers, etc. There's normally a solution, and ubuntu has one of the bigger communities so it's worth googling "ubuntu "your device here"" to see if there are any common issues. If you have an external hard drive lying around you could install on, and boot from that, just to figure it out and see if it likes your computer. A lot of people suggest using the live disk to test, but I've had several instances where the wifi will work perfectly in live environment but then fail after install
Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

I want to fully install ubuntu wiping the windows partion. Also my cpu supports 64bit architecture.its just that my current windows os is 32bit.

aaron-watts commented 3 years ago

It should be no problem then, just test first. It's handy to have an ethernet connection available for the set up.

Shakti111 commented 3 years ago

i have a router @aaron-watts

jjaimealeman commented 3 years ago

I'm going to CLOSE this Issue, as the readme.md task has been completed.

@aaron-watts Go ahead and continue working on your Wiki entry as discussed ;)

@Shakti111 If you can think of anything else we can share in the Wiki, so ahead and open a new Issue.

Thanks guys for your contributions ;)
