Accept Module 1

Exercise 1.1

In your terminal, create a demo project that replicates these steps:

git init demo (cd into it)
touch readme.md
git add readme.md
git reset readme.md
git add readme.md (to get it back in the staging area)
git commit -m ‘commit empty readme’
Take a screenshot of your terminal and post it in this thread.

@AaronGullickson’s example is - they check a git status each step of the way:

00%20AM

When you are done, you can move on to Module 2.

Good times. I did a lot of experimenting here with different editors and shells. Loved the lesson on strategically committing parts of a file to keep the history intelligible. I do think this will be hard to motivate with novice high school students, but we’ve got to start somewhere.
