βœ… Week 1 Done! Python Automation + Git + Scripting πŸš€

Hey Devs!
Here's a recap of my Week 1 progress from the DevOps + QA Automation journey I'm documenting!

πŸ“š What I Covered This Week:
βœ… Completed the Google IT Automation with Python certification

βœ… Practiced real-world scripting with:

os, sys, shutil, subprocess, argparse, logging

File handling + text parsing

Permissions, environment variables, shebangs

βœ… Hands-on Git and GitHub workflows:

Branching, commit history, patching (diff, revert, reset)

SSH setup and .gitignore usage

βœ… Explored basic Linux + Bash tools: chmod, wc, ps, top, and redirections

πŸ§ͺ What I Built:
πŸ—‚οΈ File Rearranger – Script to auto-organize files by type

πŸ“Š CPU Usage Monitor – Command-line tool to show system stats

🐍 Python scripts with CLI arguments, logging, and error handling

🎯 What's Next (Week 2 Preview):
πŸ”§ Deep dive into Linux + Bash scripting

βš™οΈ Start DevOps: CI/CD, Docker, and GitHub Actions

✍️ More advanced scripting with subprocess and log parsing

πŸ’¬ If you're learning Python or DevOps, let’s connect! I’d love to hear what you’re building and share ideas
