Recap

What we've done so far:

• Complete basics on using the CLi

• Setup our Github accounts and Git CLi

• `Fork` and `clone` a Github repo

• `open .` To view the cloned project in our finder/explorer

Let's Git Started

Make viewable on your desktop:

• A Sublime Text 3 instance

• A file browser (finder/explorer)

• Your project directory

Open a project 

Open a project in Sublime:

1. Select the project folder in the file browser

2. Drag the folder to your Sublime instance

3. Locate the `index.html` file

Run the project

Open the index.html in the browser:

1. From the project folder in your file browser

2. Try double clicking on the `index.html` file

3. If clicking doesn't work, drag the `index.html` to an open Chrome window

Let's Code!!!

1. Open the Chrome developer console

2. In Sublime, open `rawstings.js`

3. Write in a `console.log` statement on line 14 and save `cmd + s`

4. Go back to Chrome and refresh the browser `cmd + r`

Passing tests

• The key here is to _FAIL_. A LOT; code/save/test, code/save/test, recurse!

• The more times you do this the quicker you will learn, the quicker you will pass tests  

• When you have your first test passing it's time to `commit` (next module)

HELP!!!

Google the error message in your console
