First Task, learn how to use git bash

[jomjohn]

Hi @gladams, we will use the github "issues" to assign tasks, work through them, and complete them.

There are many ways to interact with github repos. At the core is gitbash that will interact with all git flavored repositories (github, gitlab, bitbucket... there are many)

Make sure you have git for windows installed: https://gitforwindows.org

If you do have it installed you can right click on any folder and it will give you the option of "git bash here".

Once you have git bash installed, this is a good tutorial to walk through for some basics: https://www.w3schools.com/git/default.asp?remote=github

To complete this task do the following:

• Clone this repo to your laptop
• To authenticate, you may need to create a Personal Access Token (PAT) for your github user and enter as username/password
• create a new branch "DEV" to make your changes to
• create a new file test.html and add some text
• create a commit with that file
• push your commit to your "DEV" branch
• create a github pull request (PR) to merge your new commit into the main branch.

This is a workflow that you will do often when working in a repo that others are also working on. We can meet over screenshare to go through this together the first time.
