#WDI LA 12 & 13 Class Repository
This will be your shared class repo! Cheat sheets, in-class labs and code samples, curated lists of articles, and other resources will live here.
###What's in here?
Weekly directories contain in-class code samples and files required for labs and lessons.
The cheatsheets directory will be your go-to for cheat sheets and procedural instructions (like installs, deployment steps, etc.).
The tangents folder is where you can find suggestions for extra practice -- ideas, prompts, specs, and more. If you need to polish your skills in a given area, you'll want to start here!
The resources directory is where you can find articles, blog posts, tutorials, and more ways to extend your learning or read ahead.
The projects directory contains information and resources for class projects.
The templates directory allows you to quickly create a new project using the files and directory structures we discuss in class. Throughout the class, the libraries and best practices we learn will be added to these templates.
###What can I do?
As a student, you have pull permissions on this repository. We recommend maintaining a "pristine" local copy (that you can keep pulling from), and a "working" directory (with another name, outside of this directory) that you can copy samples into for in-class exercises and labs.
###How do I make a copy?
Before modifying files in the repository, copy them into another folder. To do this, you can use the cp command with the -R flag, for example: cp -R ~/GA/WDI_LA_12-13/templates/html5-template ~/GA/01week. This will create a new html5-template/ folder inside ~/GA/01week. Including a trailing slash on the source directory will only copy the contents of the directory. Excluding the trailing slash, as was done in the above example, will copy the directory name and its contents.
###What am I viewing here?
You are viewing the README.md file in the current directory. It is written in [Markdown] 1 -- a plain text formatting syntax which emphasizes readability. It is recommended that you always have a README.md in the root directory of your GitHub project. For viewing and editing Markdown files on your computer, try [Mou] 2.
