Well, I know that I am passed my week deadline. December seems to be a busy month, don't you think?
In the time since I last wrote, I was able to create a Github account using the name robertjorg and create a few repositories for the coding I have done. I first tried just one repository for all the code that I have done for the C# book. Maybe I should have kept just one repository for the entire book, but I decided I was going to break up the repositories by bigger projects. Each bigger project in the book will have it's own repository. Which is the better way? I still am not sure and am still learning about forks, repositories, and working together in GitHub. Maybe I will decide that I should have one repository for the entire book as a move along and discover more.
I had a great experience (and I am glad I wasn't developing something that I will need down the road)! I somehow deleted all of my code I had written for the book. I saw it there, then when I was moving from one repository to many, it was deleted. Not sure what I did, but I am glad I wasn't more attached to the code. I had saved the Day at the Races code on my Google Drive so that was easily recovered. I had one more chapter of code that I lost (to save time I went to the books website and downloaded the code). Lesson learned, when trying something new, make sure I have a backup so I don't lose the code. Then again, maybe GitHub removes the need to have to create backups as long as I am using it correctly? I was using the Desktop client, which seems to be pretty user friendly, and plan to continue using that (unless someone tells me there is a better way of doing things).
I found another GitHub repository that contains some code for A Day At the Races. I checked the solution for walbalooshi and it they did implement some of the same code that I did, but was pretty different. walbalooshi has three repositories with two appearing to be solutions for the C# book and only the projects (maybe they are two of the labs). The Day at the Races as five forks. I am interested to learn if those that are forking that code are forking to help make changes to the original code?
I hope to keep learning and using GitHub more. Maybe one day I will be a paying customer because I will need a private repository or two.
