CST438: Using Git for Source Code Management

 Git is very helpful for managing source code. It saves all changes, so we can see history and go back if something is wrong. It also helps many developers work together using branches. Each person can work on their own part without breaking the main code. GitHub also makes it easy to share code and review changes.

However, Git merge cannot solve everything. Even if there is no conflict, the code can still have errors. For example, two developers may change different lines, but the final code may not work together. Git cannot understand logic, so developers still need to test and check the code after merging. Communication between developers is still important.

Balancing Beaches and Bytes: My Week 1 in the CS Online Program

Before the first week of my CS Online course started, I was happy to connect with my teammates early. I really enjoyed working with them. We shared ideas, created designs, and had fun being creative together. It was a great start, and working as a team helped us a lot. To be honest, when Week 1 of the course started, I was in Hawaii on vacation with my family. It’s not a usual way to begin a new class. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. This course is very important to me because it helps me prepare for my future, and I didn’t want to fall behind. But at the same time, I knew that spending time with my family and making special memories in Hawaii was also important. So, I gave myself a challenge: Can I enjoy the vacation and still keep up with my school work? Here's a photo taken from my drone.  I’m really happy with how this course is set up . It has both group work and individual assignments. I enjoy working on my own because I can focus, but I also like working w...
