SE 371 – Assignment 1 Journal

September 18, 2025

What I Did
-Set up Intellij Idea as my IDE and made sure it recognized the JDK.
-Created a small console java program that prints the nth Fibonacci number.
-Created a GitHub account and accepted the invitation to the course organization.
-Made a private repo inside the org and pushed my Assignment1 folder with the Fibonacci code.

Difficulties and How I Solved Them
-Github no longer lets you use a regular password for Git operations.

I kept getting “Invalid username or token” errors when I tried to clone the repo.
-I fixed it by generating a Personal Access Token and using it as the password when cloning and pushing.

Thoughts
I’m looking forward to learning more about real world software d practices and how teams manage projects on GitHub.

The setup was a little confusing at first but it already gave me a taste of what professional workflows feel like.
