Welcome YouTubers! My name is Sarah Laroubi. I'm a Computer Science student at Rosemont College, and I want to become a software engineer. I have been in the program for four semesters and learned a lot about computers, programming, and algorithms. The program I am in gives students a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of computing. Over the past four semesters, I've taken courses in data structures, algorithms, and web development. We've also learned about computer architecture, databases, and software engineering principles. My future career implies different things, like building websites or mobile apps. It’s a career that combine's creativity and problem-solving.
My goal today is to present to you the website GitHub, that is almost indispensable as a software engineer.
As a software engineer, I face a problem that a lot of my comrades do, which is having a space where we can keep tracks of our coding projects. When coding a project, many unexpected things can happen, and some of them can be really bad. For example, you have been working on a session project that was saved in your computer, but then, you break that computer and everything you have done is gone. Or, you work on your project, and after an hour of modifications, the result is worse, and you messed up the project, so you want to come back to the previous state but don't remember how the initial state, that was the functional one, was.
Also, another problem that we face is that when working as a group on the same project, everyone brings different modifications to it, and in the end, we can end up with different versions, although we started from the same one. So, we need a tool that can connect different software engineers from different workspaces to work together on the same project without compromising other people work.
First, open your browser. Type this URL "https://github.com" into the address bar and hit enter. You can sign in if you already have an account or create one. You also have to download the command prompt "Git bash" to connect your computer to the website from this URL: https://git-scm.com/downloads/win
After all of this set up, we can begin by creating a new repository and connect it to our device with the appropriate commands on the command prompt.
So, this is how you keep a track and a copy of all you're coding projects without worrying of losing them. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching, and don't forget to subscribe.
