1. Project management

This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.

My journey

I'm discovering the Git and GitLab "universes". All this is completely new for me so I had to search for several tutorials explaining it in a "for dummies" way !

I found videos in french made by Grafikart that are really well done. I knew them already as they helped me learn more about creating websites by coding several years ago (at least 10).

These tutorials can be found on Youtube here.

I'm used to document on paper so I prepared a notebook (that I customed with cat stickers and self-cutted separators :) ) in which I added a planner for each week (that I try to follow, but not always succeed to it ! ^^')

After writing my notes in the notebook (taken about Git, such as the basic commands) I write them down here. Starting with paper and pens helps me to better visualize the informations, especially by adding colors and icons.

Learning Git

First I watched a short 5min video about what it is. It still is a bit unclear for me on why to use Git but I'm sure it will get clearer once I'll use it regularly.

We've already installed Git on my computer with my instructor, Sylvain Denis, but as I didn't take notes nor remember the steps, I watched and followed the Grafikart video (in french) on how to install it.

I've learned how to check that everything is well installed on the computer by using " git help + enter"

After that, I learned how to add a folder with Windows "cmd" and to initialize Git in it. A good information was to tell me that I don't have to push the whole folder on my online repository as the ".git" folder contains too many files and is not needed.

Next step was to configure my user name and email by using "git config --global user.name" and "git config --global user.email".

It still isn't easy to find my way in the Git universe and its use so I have to continue learning about it step-by-step !

My Project

I searched for images of existing pet items to get inspired and made a moodboard with them.
