I really would love to meet him some day, maybe I'll have the money to hear him speak somewhere eventually
One of my managers is designing a website in wordpress and was trying to get the page to scroll to different positions. I had to explain to him how an anchor was could be a link, a spot on the page, or both. Here's the code I wrote to show him:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a id="top-of-page" href="#bottom-of-page">Go to bottom</a>
<!-- spacer -->
<div style="height:2048px;width:1px;"></div>
<a id="bottom-of-page" href="#top-of-page">Go to top</a>
</body>
</html>Apparently this amazed him so much he took a picture of my code with his phone, and I was like "I can email it to you"
the only thing stallman has ever said that I found in the least bit amusing is that he's saint ignucias the pope of the church of emacs
Bitbucket runs on a git backbone as well.
git = linus. github = a website that hosts git repositories online. bitbucket = a website that hosts git repositories online.
If you don't need to keep code online for all to see, you can purely use just git. I also have git repositories that are in dropbox folders so I get the benefits of versioning and branching as well as accessing the files on multiple machines without having the code public on github.
There is... another software besides git that some people use... SVN. But... I rarely see anything positive about it xD But it's an option.
I was mostly just wondering why those projects never became more, usually google excels in its projects. The idea of using google drive or dropbox is kind of interesting since i have 100 gigs on drive. TOP wants you to get used to github but I don't see much of a point until I'm doing things worth a damn
apparently drive doesn't work lol
Google uses their own version software but it's built to work in a really LARGE scale so I'm not sure if we'll ever see it as it probably wouldn't work for small scale (or be overkill at the least).
My advice would be the same as TOP. Git is hard (at first). GitHub is a layer on top of that hard. Really the only way to learn is to use it over and over and over and over and over again.
Even if you just use git on a local without all the github remote repo stuff.
That's the trick.
commands are easy. learning when to branch, why it's important, how to handle merges etc etc etc.
Tho... being able to branch the home automation is nice... I can checkout a branch and work on stuff while the roommate is away and then it's just a
checkout master away from going back to defacto actually works code (he isn't a fan when the light don't work :laughing: )
yea and it seems like TOP is really glazing over the, this is the nitty gritty about using git
It's... not easy to teach the nitty gritty. I've taken lessons where they teach it... and... it doesn't matter. Until I actually had repos and started using it and then finding things I needed to do and then having to search to find out how to do... then going "oh.. yeah... that was in that course... "... not until then did it actually make sense.
I think that might be the meat of the problem. It doesn't make sense until you actually have the opportunity to do it.
doing sys admin work and reopair the whole time
are you in tech already?
