      In this video you mentioned not to create your git folder in a cloud synced folder but didn't say why, I'm really curious why because this is something I was planning to do with my Nas.

    You are by far the most articulate and easy-to-follow educator in this field for me. There are no gaps between your explanations, which is really hard to do if you want to include learners of all levels. You've nailed it for me.

    I started programming in middle school and took my last formal programming course in high school all before git existed. As a solo developer, I just versioned my software by manually copying and renaming the folder. I never went down the path of being a professional programmer though I continued coding for solo projects. I first got introduced to git in 2019 and for the life of me couldn't understand it. It was probably a combination of I didn't have a serious need for git and I've gotten dumber, but it's taken until your video for me to understand how to incorporate it into my workflow and boy is it nice as a solo developer. I really enjoy how you simplified it for solo developers and also did a visual walkthrough of Github Desktop. I'm sure as I get more advanced I may switch to the git functionality in VSCode, but your video was a great starting point.
    All this to say, absolutely amazing video and if you keep up these kind of simplified videos, you'll achieve great success with dumb old guys like me

      Thanks! It always bugs me that many tutorials just dump people into the terminal/CLI and don't really take the time to explain the higher level part. If you get your feet wet with the GUI and high level understanding, learning the CLI later is easier.

    Thanks for the video, nice and straightforward. Question, what options do you have for Desktop Apps for the various OSs. I use Mac, iPad, Windows and Android. When looking for apps on the various platforms some are free and others charge. I'm not looking to do anything complex, just a single storage location for my code files that will only be used by me (although would like to give others access so they can see my files and clone if desired). Appreciate any suggestions on what would be the simplest apps to use. Thanks.

    • @SkillFoundryIO
      @SkillFoundryIO  5 місяців тому

      I think that GitHub desktop is good enough for most people. I’ve also used tortoise and kraken in the past. Kraken is really nice but probably overkill for your situation.
      I don’t use Git tools on my mobile devices since I code on my laptop and desktop only so I can’t comment on those.
      Luckily most tools are free or cheap and many have trials, so try them out!
