1.2 - Using VSCode & GitHub

Mr. Brash will give an in-class demo of the following (and probably more):

• Creating and organizing files and folders in VSCode

  • Opening / closing projects

• Connect VSCode to our GitHub account so that our preferences synchronize

• Configure our Git setup in VSCode (only needs to be done once per computer)

• Open a terminal window if it's not already

• Type in: git config --global user.email “you@example.com” and hit enter

• Now type in: git config --global user.name “Your Name” and hit enter

• You can check that it worked by typing git config --global –list

• How to accept an assignment from Mr. Brash in GitHub

  • How to get that accepted assignment onto our computer

  • How to back it up online (or submit it) after working on it

• Discuss merge conflicts
