Git, GitHub & Markdown Crash Course: Learn Git, GitHub & MD

Master the built-in terminal to navigate the desktop, create directories and files, and run essential commands like pwd, ls, cd, mkdir, and touch.

Configure git to know who you are by setting your username and email with git config, globally or per repository, and verify with git config --list.

Create a new git repository, add a python file (mean.py) in the master branch using Visual Studio Code, then verify the untracked file by listing files in Git Bash.

Learn the difference between tracked and untracked files, and how to stage and track new files using git status and git add on the master branch.

Stage an untracked Python file by using git add, then verify with git status to see it tracked in green on the master branch, ready to be committed.

Learn how to restore changes in the working tree with git restore, revert a modified staged file on the master branch, and verify status before and after.

Learn how to add multiple files to the staging area using git add with specific filenames, git add --all or git add -A, and understand untracked versus staged files.

Learn how to stage and commit files with git, write descriptive commit messages, and use commit hashes to revert changes. Check status on the master branch to verify commits.

learn how to merge a branch into master with git merge, resolve conflicts manually in an editor, then stage and commit, and finally delete the branch with git branch -d.

Create a repository on GitHub and link it to your local repo, then push files to the master branch. Learn about public vs private access and adding a markdown readme.

Create and edit the readme file using markdown on GitHub, preview changes, and commit to master or a new branch, highlighting header level one and the .md extension.

Pull updates from the GitHub repository to your local repo using git fetch plus git merge or git pull to keep your local branch up to date with origin master.

Learn to edit code locally, stage changes with git add, commit with a message, and push to update the GitHub repo using git push origin master.

Create a new branch in a GitHub repository to test changes without touching the master branch, then commit edits to the new branch and explore GitHub's editor for code updates.

Learn to create a new branch locally, switch to it, modify the readme, stage and commit changes, push the branch to origin on GitHub, and open a pull request.

Learn how to view commit history with git log, identify commits by hash, and reset to a chosen commit to discard later changes, updating the head on the master branch.

Create a gitignore file to hide logs, temporary and personal files from a repository, using patterns like *.txt, *.log, and temp directories, with # for comments.

Explore the markdown language to describe your repository and learn how to configure GitHub appearance, including choosing a theme and enabling a fixed-width monospace font for editing markdown.

Learn to create markdown headings using hash signs, matching level one to five, with examples showing level one, level two, and level three, and preview changes in the readme file.

Master Markdown styling by applying bold, italics, strikethrough, and the combination of bold and italics, as well as subscript and superscript; separate paragraphs with blank lines and preview the output.

Master markdown by learning to create a block of code using the greater-than symbol plus a space, then preview the result to see the formatted output.

Learn to create and place markdown code blocks, preview their output, and copy blocks for reuse. Build horizontal rules with three asterisks, dashes, or underscores, and format lists.

Learn to create markdown links by wrapping link text in brackets and the URL in parentheses, optionally add titles, use angle brackets for URLs or emails, and explore inline images.
