Task 2: Forking a Repo on GitHub and Creating a Pull Request (30 min)

5. Make a new file with the pattern lastname_firstname_resources.md.
6. Open the file you just created in your text editor.
7. Create a list of some of your favorite resources so far related to coding/Turing/git/GitHub/etc. These resources do not need to be ones that we've discussed in class. They can be anything that has helped you so far in your journey to learn software development.
8. Add your changes.
9. Commit your changes with a properly formatted commit message.
10. Push your changes to your fork.

This next part is not something we discussed during Session 3 and will involve some figuring out on your own.

1. Use the site:help.github.com Googling trick to search GitHub's help area to figure out how to create a pull request from a fork. It may also be helpful to figure out what pull request means.
2. Open a pull request for your changes.

• Once your pull request is open, you're done! You don't need to submit or paste anything since we will get a notification that you've opened a pull request.

Task 3: OOP and Bottles (20 min)

• Watch this video. Next, create an idea for a class of your own. In the space below, outline your class idea.

What attributes and methods would it have? What data types would those attributes have, and how would the methods use/update those attributes?

Think of an instance of that class. What data would it have stored in its attributes? How would the methods affect or use that data?

Remember to consider naming conventions!
