Exploring GitHub, IRC and concept of Branching

Good day fellas!

We started our adventure by jumping to three new concepts/systems that will become our daily activity. It may look silly or old fashion to use the IRC program which it was created when I was a teenager (yeap, that gives you a good idea of how old I'm) but the usage of it has been significantly changed during time.

GitHub is an interesting instrument that until now I'm aware of his existence and seems to be a great tool. I tried to practice the 15 minutes warm up, but it made some crashes on my browser, hopefully you guys didn't have to suffer like me and finish the whole mini training. Our professor gave us an intensive course of how to use it and the meanings of each commands... The question is: Will be able to keep on mind all of them? Obviously not (unless you have an amazing memory) but it seems that only while practicing we will be able to capture it. He then jumped us to the concept of branching and we did some examples of how important is to keep notes of in which section you started the branch or section that each of us will be working once we know our teams and project to resolve.

Speaking of practices, Have you started or done yours? I spent some minutes after class with my peers White and DD and some of them seems to be easy to resolve, except for the "last one" which in our case was creating the function that eventually breaks the whole program. So I will be spending some hours during this weekend refreshing my concepts and hopefully be in better shape next week.

Is the same case for you? Wishing you a nice weekend and have fun!
