Getting started with Git

Best Resources:
Git Book from GitHub Book starts explaining version control, then install, then config and continues as git is used locally, to branches, to uploading to gitHub, and beyond to collabrating.
Git Docs

Getting git
0)  Check if git already installed? 
From cmd line: git --version  to see if installed 
Installed? Skip to 2)
1) (Ch.1.5)Install Git - by going to Git docs or online book and follow directions for your O/S.

2) (Ch.1.6) First-Time Git Setup using git config set your name, email, and optionally editor and more.
Basic git config settings:
Identity
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
Editor
git config --global core.editor "'C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin"
(lab1.3) End of Line Preferences
git config --global core.autocrlf true
git config --global core.safecrlf true
Check your settings:  
git config --list --show-origin   
--list will list all settings
--show-origin will show location of the settings

3) (Ch.1.7) HELP!
git help <verb>
git <verb> --help
man git-<verb>

#git, #github, or #gitlab on Libera Chat IRC server

4) (ch2.1) git Command basics
Can be done from command line or via a GUI Clients
Even when using GUI Clients you need to know what the basic commands are and work flow is:
  1. Create a git repository by 1) changing into the directory and 2) enter git init
  2. Add files to this repository  git add <file name(s)>
  3. Edit the files  - normal editing
  4. Commit the changes to the repository  git commit -m <commit msg>
5) repository
git status
Besides giving status of a directory, you can use to test if a directory is a git repository.

Next more on local repository management.

Trouble Shooting & Debugging - Terms & Steps

Notes and basics from Google Automation: Trouble Shooting & Debugging Coursera course Trouble shooting - fixing system Debugging - fixing program code Cache stores data in a form that's faster to access than its original form.   M emory leak -  when memory which is no longer needed is not getting released.  WEEK 2 Videos - review for terms and steps! Debugging Process figuring out the problem and its solution require some creativity.  We need to come up with new ideas of what could be failing, and ways to check for that.  And once we know what's failing, we need to imagine how to solve it.  To take it a step further, once we've solved a problem, we can start thinking about how to prevent it from happening again Steps to solve a problem Gather information super important resource to solve a problem is the reproduction case , which is a clear description of how and when the problem appears Finding the root cause most difficult step.  key: ...
