Coding Through Terminal

How to Create a Notebook Using Bash:

  1. First, enter vscode through terminal

  2. Use these commands with python:

echo "Using conditional statement to create a project directory and project"

# Variable section
export project_dir=$HOME/vscode  # change vscode to different name to test git clone
export project=$project_dir/APCSP  # change APCSP to name of project from git clone
export project_repo="https://github.com/nighthawkcoders/APCSP.git"  # change to project of choice

cd ~    # start in home directory

# Conditional block to make a project directory
if [ ! -d $project_dir ]
then 
    echo "Directory $project_dir does not exists... makinng directory $project_dir"
    mkdir -p $project_dir
fi
echo "Directory $project_dir exists." 

# Conditional block to git clone a project from project_repo
if [ ! -d $project ]
then
    echo "Directory $project does not exists... cloning $project_repo"
    cd $project_dir
    git clone $project_repo
    cd ~
fi
echo "Directory $project exists."

VSCode Terminology:

  • Source Control: This is the tab in VSCode where you stage, commit, and sync changes.
  • Debug Console: This is where you can debug and work around any issues in your VSCode files.

Largest Takeaway of Trimester 1:

  • Need to be more proactive on fastpages, and more consistent with commits and additions
  • Collaboration was on point this trimester, should be carrying it over into Tri 2
  • Rather than being a weekend worker, should be working more consistently throughout the week and accomplish more so that I have more time for other tasks
  • Flask site was solid, more could have been done to it and more consistent commits
  • My role during the Final project definitely could’ve been played out better, and as the Frontend devloper, once my duties have been complete, I should be helping out the Backend developer with their duties
  • Quality of the work was solid, but obviously room for improvement
  • should be more proactive about extra credit opportunities as well so as to stay ahead of the curve, and complete as much cs work as possible - this will allow me to better familiarize myself with cs components
  • More familiarized with JavaScript now, keep refining those skills to carry over into Tri 2
  • Should work to better understand components of JSON and its various applications
  • More familiarized with Python, and HTML… should continue to see rapid improvement come Tri 2
