Learning about Github

This week I tested out some of the features of git and Github. I worked on an open source web based note taking application. It is fairly rudimentary but it works!

It has a simple text box in which you can write whatever you like and it will be saved. The site automatically saves every 10 seconds or you can do it manually by hitting the save button.

It definitely will not be replacing Microsoft Word any time soon but it’s on it’s way!

The more important part of this project was to really learn about Github. I have used it before but I was able to practice more with creating branches, pushing and pulling from my local version of the file.

The really new cool thing I learned about was Github Pages, which let me host my site really quickly.

If anyone wants to take a look at my repository they are more than welcome. Feel free to make suggestions, identify issues and even create a fork and make it better if you wish!
