Beginners Guide to Git

Git Workflow

Git is a helpful tool used to track & save your code progress in projects. Using this version control system has a bit of a learning curve, but once you go through the motions a couple of times, you'll start to get a feel for the overall flow of tracking and commiting files.

The general workflow is as follows:

• initialize a repository for your project
• edit a file. the file will be untracked at this point
• add the file to the git staging area. the file will then be tracked

1) What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My greatest strength by far is my ability to persevere. As with most humans, I’ve faced a a decent amount of adversity in my day. I’ve always known that I’ll never be the smartest or most talented person in any given classroom. What I do know, however, is that if I really want something, I go for it with everything I have and don’t stop until I reach my goal. I’ve failed over and over again, been turned down, and made to feel like I’m not good enough. I try to take this feedback with a grain of salt; while keeping in mind that if I haven’t failed, I haven’t learned something. I’m like a slow moving turtle; learning and steadily moving forward until the day comes when my persistence and hard work pays off.

2) How do you work best?

I work best in an environment with people who are open-minded, accepting and empathetic towards others. I’ve found that in order for me to be effective in a work setting; that is, to be able to get my ideas, thoughts,

1) What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

A reasonably universal thought of people I get to know is that they feel comfortable around me. Because I am open-minded and take the time to non-judgmentally, actively listen, and respond with care; people often find they they can be themselves around me. I’ve been able to forge deep connections with people more easily, which means they open up to me more. This insight gives me the gift of navigating facades and breaking down barriers to find out people really want, which has been a great tool for communication.

2) How does empathy help you build better software?

When building any product for someone else, in order to truly see their vision, you must possess empathy skills. Often, the only way to really get to know someone’s true desires is to dig below the surface of what they are saying; to step into their shoes. I used to be a kickboxing instructor at a local studio. We sold kickboxing memberships to clients who
