Installing and Setting up Git

Issue 1 requires you have have Git installed and configured on your computer. To help you get set up, we’ve prepared two articles:

1. Installing Git, which helps you check whether you already have Git available and provides installation walkthroughs for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
2. 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!

Basics of Terminal

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:

1. What Is a Terminal and Why Do I Need One? covers what a terminal is and why it’s worth learning.
2. How to Choose and Open Your First Terminal helps you pick a terminal program and open it for the first time.
3. How to Run (and Stop) Terminal Commands covers how to run (and stop) commands.
4. Understanding Files, Folders, and File Paths covers how files are organized in your computer and how to navigate that system.
5. Practice: Navigate Your Files Using the Terminal 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 navigation practice exercise. Sometimes, a bit of practice is exactly what you need!

Editing HTML & CSS Files

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.
