Description
@davcsj please read through this repo and confirm you are able to setup your `MacBook` with the editor etc.
If you would like to add a brief section on `GitHub Desktop` https://github.com/apps/desktop please go ahead.
Your objective is:
+ [x] Install a text/code editor e.g. `VSCode` / `VSCodium` #37
+ [x] Setup **2 Factor auth** for your `GitHub` account to ensure it is secured.
+ [x] Install the `PostgresApp`: https://postgresapp.com/downloads.html so you can run `PostgreSQL` (this will be later, but you can get ahead now!)
+ [x] Install `Node.js`: https://nodejs.org/en because you will use it on a few projects.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12570971/1148249
+ [ ] Use the terminal _or_ `GitHub Desktop` to clone a repository to your `Mac`
e.g: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tdd -> `git clone git@github.com:dwyl/learn-tdd.git`
+ [ ] Follow the instructions in the cloned repo. (i.e. _do_ the "Learn Test Driven Development" tutorial).
_When_ you hit a "wall" (i.e. an obstacle you cannot overcome) the _first_ thing you should do is _comment_ on this issue describing the problem. With a screenshot where relevant. https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/mac.html 🍏 📷
Once you have commented, you can practice your `Google` skills attempting to solve it. 🔍
If you are still stuck after **10 minutes**, drop another comment "I searched for X, but didn't find the solution". 🤷♂️
Then you can tap @MikeRund on the shoulder and ask him for help. 🙏
If after 10 mins You + Mike cannot overcome the obstacle, comment again: "@MikeRund and I couldn't not figure out X ..."
Then you can ask me and I'll be _very_ glad to help! 🧑💻 🥷
The point of this exercise is independent learning and problem solving but _with_ a "Safety Net". 🕸️
The more you comment, the more questions you ask, the faster you will learn. 🏁
