Reading Notes for Class 02, Self-Paced Ops 201

Objective

Today's readings give us a broad understanding of the two platforms, GitHub and VS Code, which we will be interacting with throughout our ops courses. (Taken from the description for Ops 201 Lab 02) Git lets us manage our GitHub repositories via command line, and VS Code is an industry-standard IDE for coding purposes.

Reading Comprehension 01

Title = GitHub

  • Branching lets you have different versions of a repository at one time.
  • Work done on different branches will not show up on the main branch until you merge it. When you create a branch off the main branch, you're making a copy, or snapshot, of main as it was at that point in time.
  • Saved changes are called commits.
  • When you open a pull request, you're proposing your changes and requesting that someone review and pull in your contribution and merge them into their branch.

Reading Comprehension 02

Title = VS Code

  • The basic layout of VS code includes the following components: (1) Editor, (2) Primary Side Bar, (3) Status Bar, (4) Activity Bar, (5) Panel
  • Whenever you open another file, the editor that is active will display the content of that file. You can switch between open editors by holding cmd and pressing 1, 2, or 3.
