I haven’t seen the tutorial, but I know on my Windows PC ‘documents’ is actually ‘Documents’ (the ‘d’ is capitalized). Those commands are navigating into the files on your computer to where you want to put your Github repo. I like to keep my File Explorer up sometimes in case I make a mistake on the file names, as they are case sensitive. Hope this helps!
You are erroring out at step 2 because you aren’t actually in the directory where documents is.
These paths are all relative to where you stand, so this instruction doesn’t make sense because obviously the instructor doesn’t know hierarchy of your directories. It’s basically telling you to git clone a remote repository to your local machine in documents folder.
Therefore go into whatever directory you like by using cd commands and execute #7.
If you don’t know how cd commands work, I will refer you to this article. Look up cd section.
I would also change your category from Javascript to Git.
1-5 is just going to the directory (folder) where you want your project to be. 6 is listing the contents of that directory (just to make sure you’re in the right place). 7 is actually cloning the repo. Feel free to just create your directory using file explorer. Right click on it and select “Git Bash Here”. Then clone your project.
Try going to the folder via File Explorer, and when inside your folder right click on the open space to see if an option like ‘Git Bash here’ exists.
If it does, click on it and you will be able to type in your git commands now.
Hope this helps
So on your computer, replace with your user and find out what the is for your computer. (The guid may change each time GitHub updates PortableGit, but they’re working on a solution to that.)
How do i find my ‘guid’? I look it up and i find nothing on how to do so.
Okay so i went off and did a lot of research to figure out what github really was.
Here is what i learned:
A git is something you can create locally on your PC and it saves all of your changes to whatever you are doing. It seems to work off commands and stuff.
GitHub is a graphical interface in which multiple people can work on it and you get to see what changes have been made and you can download it to your computer.
(It isn’t speech recognition, its just as my survey as a placeholder)
Now i have multiple questions:
Is there anyway i can view my project without downloading it?
How can i turn this into a git that is locally on my computer?
Can i create the Git on my computer without using GitHub(website, they have a downloadable version which i don’t know how to really use)?
My most important question: Why isn’t my CSS linking? I view the HTML after downloading it and see that my CSS isn’t running.
