Getting Started with GitHub #1

Open github-learning-lab[bot] opened 4 years ago

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:

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.

HELLO WORLD

My name is Sergio

I'm photo-code, and I think I will do a lot of things with photography and code, I hope so.

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

photo-code, it looks like your task list has too many spaces between the [ ] square brackets.

The formatting for a task list requires that there is exactly one space between the brackets. When you check the box, that blank space will be replaced by an x.

Go ahead and try again!

Step 2: Turn on GitHub Pages

Nicely done @photo-code!

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

  1. Under your repository name, click Settings.
  2. 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.
