Hey, everyone, welcome back.
So as I've been working on this course, I've referred to this section internally.
I mean, it's just me, but in my head internally, as GitHub odds and ends, I don't really think that's
a fair title.
There are some very important pieces in here and then some odds and ends.
It's just another one of those Mottley sections, an assortment of topics that have to do with GitHub.
So the first thing we covered is the difference between having a public and private repo and what it
means that's going to be critical, but also very easy.
Then we talk about adding collaborators to repost.
How do we add somebody else and give them permission to push, for example, to a project that's going
to be critical as well.
You do that all the time, assuming you collaborate.
We talk about README files, which is important.
You may have seen this before.
All caps read me.
MD stands for Mark Down M.D. They play a particular role in GitHub repositories.
Pretty much every Rupo has one, but it's not critical, important sort of best practice.
It's a good habit to get into.
Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself.
It's important, but not critical.
Then I talk about markdown.
If you're not familiar with markdown, it is not a gett or GitHub topic.
But to make a read me, we do write markdown.
So it's related.
If you already know markdown, skip that if you don't check it out.
But remember, markdown is the thing on its own and it's not tied to get in GitHub.
And then two other things I'm going to say are nice to have.
Definitely not important or critical a feature on GitHub called gists.
That's all I'll say about it.
They're nice to have, but a lot of people just don't even use them.
And then GitHub pages, a very nice to have tool from GitHub that allows us it helps us to easily host
Web pages, static Web pages from our repositories.
So very nice to have, but also not at all critical.
It's just not a feature of git.
It's a feature of GitHub, but it's one that's pleasant and it's a nice especially if you're starting
out you on a personal side, a portfolio site, you want to demo a project.
It's very useful anyway.
Again, we'll talk about it in the actual video on GitHub pages.
The main things I hope you take away from this section are really just about settings in a reffo public
versus private permissions, adding collaborators and then some GitHub adjacent topics like markdown
and read me files, GitHub pages worth knowing about.
Nice to have in the course for a reason, but just not critical.
OK, I got to shut up by.
