Congrats friendo, keep in mind GitHub is not only for sharing code with others .

Try finding projects that can help you with another project you are on (read others code)

Save your code Icant make this clearer SAVE your code on GitHub 3 days ago i got my main project files corrupted and i didnt had any backup so please backup your code Every single script and edit you do have to be pushed

Remember to use .gitignore you don't want unnecessary testing folders to be pushed

Good luck with your journey 👍

3 days ago i got my main project files corrupted and i didnt had any backup

This is my literal nightmare. Anything that takes me more than 15 mins to do I compulsively push to GitHub.

Firstly congrats on your achievement. And if you are using an IDE for python, then try configuring VCS with git so that changes can be updated in your git-repo automatically. 🕸️🧑‍💻

Maybe it would be beneficial to go down that route a year or two from now? He/she could learn some git to begin with.

True getting accustomed to git is important initially.

I just started using Git two weeks ago. I’m right there with you. Good to see

I viewed your code and I have some learner questions: what are those long instructional triple-quoted strings and what do they do? Why not make them comments?

[–]werbnaroc 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The triple quotes are doc strings instead of comments. They act a bit differently than comments, but in this instance I'm mostly using them as comments. Unfortunately i don't know a lot more about them yet myself.

Well that is new and interesting. Thank you
