Volume 0 Issue 1: Git
To get going with FujoGuide Issue 1: Local Version Control with Git, you first need a few tidbits of knowledge:
With these skills, which everyone can benefit from, you’ll be able to speed through the guide without an itch!
Issue 1 requires you have have Git installed and configured on your computer. To help you get set up, we’ve prepared two articles:
- Installing Git, which helps you check whether you already have Git available and provides installation walkthroughs for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
- Setting up Git’s Defaults, which will help you get Git’s settings just right. It even comes with a generator to help you get started quickly!
While Issue 1 already includes the terminal commands you’ll need to follow along, you might still be nervous about a guide that requires a terminal if you’ve never used one before. The articles and exercise below will help you gain the knowledge you need to get started:
- Terminal: Introduction covers what a terminal is, which terminal program to get started with, and how to open it.
- Terminal: Commands covers how to run (and stop) commands.
- Terminal: Navigation covers how files are organized in your computer and how to use a terminal to navigate that system.
- Terminal: Navigation Practice walks you through using your terminal to navigate your files and folders with practical step-by-step guidance.
If you don’t feel confident with a terminal yet, we especially recommend going through our Terminal Navigation Practice. Sometimes, a bit of practice is exactly what you need!
Knowledge of HTML and CSS isn’t required to complete Issue 1! However, since the exercises revolve around small guided changes to an HTML file, you’ll need to know how to edit one.
If the instructions in the guide aren’t enough to get you started editing, our HTML & CSS article will help you get caught up.
