how to log in in GitHub desktop?
GitHub Desktop is a user-friendly way to work with Git and GitHub from your local computer. To log in to GitHub Desktop:
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.
How I can use API
API stands for Application Programming Interface. You can use an API to access data and/or features of a program or service. Here are the basic steps to use an API:
Find an API: You can find APIs by searching websites such as Programmable Web, or you can go directly to the source and search on the provider's website.
Read the Documentation: The API documentation will contain the information you need to properly make requests to the API. Read the documentation carefully to understand what the API can do and when it's appropriate to use it.
Create an Account: In some cases you may need to create an account with the provider in order to use the API.
Generate an Access Token: Most APIs will require you to generate an access token or an API key in order to access the data. The access token is used to authenticate you and grant you access to the data.
Make a Request: Once you have an access token, you can use it to make a request to the API. The exact process for making a request will vary by API and language, so refer to the documentation to find out how to do this.
Process Response: After making a request, you will receive a response from the API. The response format will vary by API and language, so you will likely need to parse it in order to get the data you are looking for. Refer to the documentation to find out how the response will be formatted and how to parse it.

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. 👩💻🤝💻
