👩‍💻 Technical question

do you know much about uploading files onto a git repository?

Yes, I can help you with that. To upload files to a Git repository, you need to first have the repository on your local machine and then add the files to the repository.

Here are the steps to upload files to a Git repository:

  1. Open Git Bash on your local machine.
  2. Navigate to the repository folder on your local machine using cd command.
  3. Add the files you want to upload to the Git staging area using $ git add . command.
  4. Commit the changes using $ git commit -m "Add your commit message here" command.
  5. Push the changes to the Git repository using $ git push command.

Here's an example:

code
Copy code
cd /path/to/your/repo git add . git commit -m "Add new file" git push

You can also use a Git client like GitHub Desktop or Sourcetree to upload files to a Git repository.

To deploy a project from a private repository on GitHub to gh-pages, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Create a new branch called "gh-pages" in your GitHub repository
  2. Build your project locally using webpack
  3. Copy the resulting build files to the new "gh-pages" branch
  4. Commit and push the changes to the "gh-pages" branch
  5. Enable GitHub Pages on the "gh-pages" branch in the repository settings

Here are a few more detailed steps:

  1. Create a new branch called "gh-pages" in your GitHub repository
code
Copy code
git checkout --orphan gh-pages
  1. Build your project locally using webpack
code
Copy code
webpack --config webpack.config.prod.js
  1. Copy the resulting build files to the new "gh-pages" branch
code
Copy code
cp -r dist/* .
  1. Commit and push the changes to the "gh-pages" branch
code
Copy code
git add . git commit -m "Initial gh-pages commit" git push origin gh-pages
  1. Enable GitHub Pages on the "gh-pages" branch in the repository settings

For more information, you can check out this guide on GitHub Pages: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site#creating-your-site

What does the Git terminal look like?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 11.01 seconds

The Git terminal looks like a command-line interface that accepts git commands. Below is an example of what it looks like:

bash
Copy code
$ git clone https://github.com/SheCodes-io/ancient-greece.git Cloning into 'ancient-greece'... remote: Enumerating objects: 44, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (44/44), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (39/39), done. remote: Total 44 (delta 7), reused 37 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects: 100% (44/44), done.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in VS Code by Brittany

Computer wont allow me to download git

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 9.46 seconds

It's likely that you'll need to update the settings on your computer to allow downloads from third-party sources. To do this, you'll need to follow the instructions here to adapt your security settings. Once that is complete, you should be able to open the Git software and download the necessary files.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Answered in 17.79 seconds

GitHub Desktop is a user-friendly way to work with Git and GitHub from your local computer. To log in to GitHub Desktop:

  1. Download and install GitHub Desktop for Windows or Mac.
  2. In GitHub Desktop, click the "Sign in to GitHub.com" button in the top right corner of the window.
  3. Enter your GitHub credentials and click "Sign in".

If you're accessing GitHub Desktop with two-factor authentication enabled, use your personal access token instead of your GitHub password.

If you have any questions, feel free to visit the GitHub Desktop Documentation.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃

You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.

Here are some examples:

- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?

- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?

- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]

For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.

In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
