- Gitlab
- Atom
- Visual Studio
- So what will I do?
Setting up Webpage-Gitlab.
W were fortunately walked through setting up gitlab on our first term. - MY REPO
Also set with a template to make it easier to make our pages. But because I'm a stupid designer and the template looked very mych like my old portfolio. I decided to make it from scratch.
Bad choice- do not recomend, ( I have never ever seen html and css before in my life) so things went downhill...
But I can recomend freecodecamp - because its free and you have to start somewhere.
settign up git is not very easy, we had instructors walking us thorugh it. Creted account- but don't setup your account with a dot (.) in your username as it is a known bug!!!
from mac users perspective- open terminal, (already bash shell installed-lucky)
checking and generating SSH key follow these instructions in gitlab documentation
CInitialize a local directory for Git version control, clone and start working with git
For some it is preferred tool, yet somehow we were not meant to be. I had a lot of errors with pushing and pulling and iterface was not intuitive to me. On the user experience side of things - I could not understant error messages, so it was hard to understand what exactly went wrong. As well preview plugins I tried were not very responsive and were not rendering some of the elements. Working with git was quite frustraiting.
After long time my saviour showed up - Visual Studio Code. It somehow makes git accesable to me as well. It always pulls and pushes, makes changes and commits easy to manage, with some additional extentions it makes my life way easier. And with an extention "Atom One Dark" it looks like Atom, which is handy as I was already a bit used to that theme. Recommend as well "Preview on Web Browser"- html preview, really great rendering. There is even Grammarly - yet for now not for html (as you can see)
So how does it work? You can easily just stage all changes- it has a simple + sign so you don't even need to remember it'c called "staging", and then commit. And it always pulles before pushing to make everyone's life easier
As a FabAcademy project, I would like to make bioreactor and dehydrator, home- fab kit! I'm fascinated with synthetic biology and discovery that yest fermenting casein- milk protein- blew my mind. As the yeast are open and avaialbe in biohackers community, I wanted to make apparatus of cultivating and processing. From yeast to cheese and plastic!. The kit would consist of temerture controlled bioreactor, with dehydration chamber. From casein you coould produce then both cheese (yeast vegan cheese) and as well galalith- one of the first plastics. So both molds and mixing equipement could alsobe part of such an equipement. I would need to use electronics and sensors to control the eviroment preferably remotely as well as build hardware to set it up and make a correct workflow of harvesting casein.
