CHALLENGES FACED

Introduction to Git

Git is a tool thats keeps history of your projects so that you can see what changed and when and it also helps to go back when something has gone wrong. When working on project you can use Git to track changes, organise project and also undo mistakes.

Introduction to Github

Github its helps store and share projects that are in Git online Example you can use Git to track changes and push projects to Github.

Setting up Git

This is done by installing Git in your Computer and giving Git information by setting so that it can work. We continue by checking where we open Git Bash.

Introduction to SSH

SSH is like a ket that makes or allows your computer to communicate with Github. SSH helps provide a secure way to connect to your computer to Github and work with your repositories.

Challenges faced

-Setting up SSH Key was new to me
-Some commands did not work as expected
-Understanding Git commands such as

git add


git push


git init


git commit

were confusing.

CONCLUSION

Learning Git, Github and SSH as beginner have helped me understand that technology does not happen overnight. With practice and patience and willingness to learn from mastakes even complex concepts become easier. I hope to gain more Git, Github skills and become more confidence in working on my projects.
