The Tools I learnt during my first month of Learning Programming

Programming is hard!! that's what we have all been told. before every software engineer took the step to start learning programming….and yeah, after my first month of programming I found out programming is indeed hard….

But during my first month i found out nothing is hard after putting your mind, time and attention on it and an important aspect about learning programming is to have a good tutor.

THESE ARE SOME BASIC COMMAND LINE TOOLS

cd: Change directory.
usage:
$ cd foldername
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
ls or dir (Windows): List files and directories in the current directory.
Usage:
$ ls
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

During my first month my tutor introduced some tools that can make programming easier and more stress-free :

Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a code editor and optimized for building modern web applications. it has made my first month of programming easy and interesting.

GIT BASH

With my understanding Git bash are used to create the foundation of codes like creating folders, and files and it will be transferred to vs code for code completion. Git Bash allows you to commit changes to your local repository and push them to a remote repository.

THIS ARE THE BASIC GIT COMMANDS

git init :
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
git status :
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
git add .
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
git commit -m "commit message"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
git remote add origin {repo_url}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
git push -u origin master
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

GIT HUB

git hub is a platform where git user build their software together and publish it online

There are other tools have learnt but these tools have been the important key tools have been using so far and it has helped in my first month of learning a great deal.

I’m looking forward on learning more tools and i’m glad have learn this much just in my first month.
