Description
@davcsj please read through this repo and confirm you are able to setup your MacBook with the editor etc.
If you would like to add a brief section on GitHub Desktop https://github.com/apps/desktop please go ahead.
Your objective is:
- Install a text/code editor e.g.
VSCode/VSCodiumVSCodium is VSCode without "Telemetry" (Tracking!) #37 - Setup 2 Factor auth for your
GitHubaccount to ensure it is secured. - Install the
PostgresApp: https://postgresapp.com/downloads.html so you can runPostgreSQL(this will be later, but you can get ahead now!) - Install
Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en because you will use it on a few projects.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12570971/1148249 - Use the terminal or
GitHub Desktopto clone a repository to yourMac
e.g: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tdd ->git clone git@github.com:dwyl/learn-tdd.git - Follow the instructions in the cloned repo. (i.e. do the "Learn Test Driven Development" tutorial).
When you hit a "wall" (i.e. an obstacle you cannot overcome) the first thing you should do is comment on this issue describing the problem. With a screenshot where relevant. https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/mac.html 🍏 📷
Once you have commented, you can practice your Google skills attempting to solve it. 🔍
If you are still stuck after 10 minutes, drop another comment "I searched for X, but didn't find the solution". 🤷♂️
Then you can tap @MikeRund on the shoulder and ask him for help. 🙏
If after 10 mins You + Mike cannot overcome the obstacle, comment again: "@MikeRund and I couldn't not figure out X ..."
Then you can ask me and I'll be very glad to help! 🧑💻 🥷
The point of this exercise is independent learning and problem solving but with a "Safety Net". 🕸️
The more you comment, the more questions you ask, the faster you will learn. 🏁
