Day 1 Activities

Add a new slide

Just like we did in class, open a new pull request adding a new slide to the deck.

  1. Create a new branch, and switch to that branch:

    git switch -c NEWBRANCHNAME

  2. Create a new file in the _slides directory:

    touch 00-USERNAME.md

  3. Follow the directions for the same activity we created together, where it says "Activity: Edit Your File".

  4. Instead of just adding the caption, you will need to find a new image from the image list and use that to fill in this template:

    ---
layout: slide
---

SLIDE-CAPTION

IMAGE-URL
{: .center}

  5. Save and commit your changes on your new branch.

  6. If working locally, push your changes up to the remote:

    git push -u origin NEWBRANCHNAME

  7. Open a pull request In the body of the pull request, @ mention anyone you'd like to review your changes.

  8. Once the tests pass on your pull request, merge the pull request.

Add a caption to an existing slide

Add a caption to an existing slide in someone else's pull request.

  1. Find a pull request that you'd like to add a caption to.
  2. See what image they have chosen by clicking 'files changed', and then 'view'.
  3. Edit the file, either in the browser or locally, to add a line with your caption. (Please do not erase work that others have added to this file.)
    • If you are working locally, you will need to check out to the branch.
    • Make sure you have all the remote changes updated in your local repository: git pull.
    • Look for the name of the branch in the pull request, and check out to that branch locally: git switch BRANCHNAME.
  4. Save the changes, and commit the file.
    • If you are working locally, push the changes up to the remote: git push.
  5. Do not merge the pull request, simply @ mention the user who opened the pull request to let them know about your changes.

Improve the README.md

Improve our README.md by adding some of your favorite resources.

  1. Create branch, and switch to that branch: git switch -c NEWBRANCHNAME.
  2. Edit the README.md to be better in some way. This could mean adding a new resource, or making the existing descriptions more clear. Save and commit your changes.
  3. If working locally, push your changes up to the remote: git push -u origin NEWBRANCHNAME.
  4. Open a pull request In the body of the pull request, with base: main and compare: NEWBRANCHNAME.
  5. @ mention anyone you'd like to review your changes.
  6. Once the tests pass on your pull request, merge the pull request.

Restyle slides

If you'd like a more advanced challenge, and you have an eye for style, change the colors, font, and other aspects of the class slide deck. Note: If multiple participants attempt this, there may be merge conflicts.

  1. Create a new branch and check out to it: git switch -c NEWBRANCHNAME.
  2. Find the file _sass/solarized/solarized.scss.
  3. Make changes in the file.
    • Lines 12-19 affect colors
    • Lines 33-35 affect font and font size
    • Lines 52-55 affect headers
  4. Save and commit your changes on your branch.
  5. Push your branch to the remote: git push -u origin NEWBRANCHNAME.
  6. Open a pull request with base: main and compare: NEWBRANCHNAME.
  7. @ mention anyone you'd like to review your changes.
  8. Once the tests pass on your pull request, merge the pull request.
