The Whole Workflow

Everything joins up here. A real session of work uses almost every command in this course, in roughly this order.

`

cd ~/projects navigate

mkdir studio && cd studio create

git init start tracking

npm init -y set up

mkdir -p src docs structure

touch README.md files

git add . stage

git commit -m "..." record

grep -rn TODO . audit

./scaffold.sh next automate

`

✦ What you actually learned

Not fifty commands. You learned that everything has a path, that output is a stream you can direct, that small tools combine through pipes, that permissions decide what may run, and that anything you can type you can save into a file and run again. The commands are the vocabulary. Those five ideas are the language, and they are why a command you have never seen before will still make sense.

Where to go from here. The Git and GitHub course takes the five commands above and turns them into a professional repository with branches, pull requests and a deployed site. Everything you built in this course, particularly your scripts, becomes something you can version, share and rely on.

Run the whole workflow start to finish. This is the sequence you will repeat for years.

Try it → Do it all: `mkdir studio`, `cd studio`, `git init`, `npm init -y`, `mkdir -p src docs`, `touch README.md`, `git add .`, `git commit -m "Initial commit"`, `git log`. Nine commands, and you have set up a real project.

◈ Graded Task

Run the full workflow. Create a project called studio, move into it, start a git repository, create src and docs subdirectories and a README.md, then stage everything and make a first commit with the message Initial commit.

Checked against the filesystem you leave behind, not the commands you type, so any route that gets the job done counts. 6 visible and 3 hidden checks.
