1) What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

The Pairin survey's results seemed accurate to me, or at least I agree with their assessment. I believe my greatest strength is that I enjoy learning. If I'm curious about a topic or have a question I don't know the answer to, I am very likely to spend as much time as needed Googling and researching to get my answer. I'll exhaust several resources and spend many hourson a single topic. I consider this to be a strength because, for one, I am constantly learning, and two, it is good to be self-reliant when possible. However, it can sometimes have negative consequences if I spend so much time digging into a rabbit hole that it becomes wasteful.

2) How do you work best?

These days I think I work best alone in a relatively quiet environment, perhaps with some light background noise such as a TV or radio turned down low. Also, I work best in the afternoons and evenings. However, I can work from sunset to sunrise if I'm not careful. And I prefer to

Beginner's Guide to Git

By Shane Wathen, For Turing Mod 0, Session 4, Assignment 3

Summary:

Git is used to keep track of, and allow access to, multiple saved versions of a file or project (multiple files) over time. In other words, Git allows you to go back in time to a previously saved version of a file, in the event that you made a mistake or unwanted change in a more recent version.

Before a project is uploaded to a GitHub repo, it begins locally on one person's machine. This is the level where Git itself operates. Git keeps track of the file changes within your own computer based on a "commit." Essentially, you can create a marker in time for a specific version of a file or set of files by creating a commit in Git. This will allow you to go back to that point in time for a specific file should you make a mistake or unwanted change.
