Creating features and adding them

This week my goal was to separately implement 2 features for my HTML dead link retriever. 
I had 4 options to pick from :
 - Adding flags that would recognize "all, bad, good" as an argument and display only good, bad or ALL links.
 - Having a JSON file display data in a certain manner
 - Have an exit code that would let you know if a certain error code was found
 - Recognize the "CLICOLOR" variable that would trigger if colours would be displayed or not.

I settled with adding an exit code that would reflect if there was a bad link or not and adding flags that would display specific links. 

I chose to select those two options because I wanted for my program to represent in different ways links that were good or bad. I had already implemented colours to my code and didn't want to change the syntax on how my code was being displayed. 

This week using git was interesting compared to last week since I had used git desktop to commit my changes. I pushed myself to use the command line platform to familiarize myself with git, everything was going fine until I completed my second merge but as expected I couldn't do a "fast forward merge". I had a bit of difficulty with the command line so I finished the merge using the browser. Everything went smoothly from that point on, I had to slightly modify my code once the merge was completely done as my "exit code" portion was no longer fully implemented to the code. 

For next time if I didn't have to wait to merge the code before creating the next feature I would definitely push it to the master branch first and then create the next implementation from that point. 

This week was definitely interesting as it showed how quickly a program can come to life.

Improving Others Code !

For this blog I was tasked to find a partner and improve some of their code. I decided to stick to Nathan's code as he used python to create his " PYLinkChecker ". The reasoning behind me as to why I choose his project is simply because as mentionned before I have never worked with python. This was an opportunity for me to learn a bit more about python and get out of my  coding comfort zone.  As I wasn't too familiar with python I also didn't want to overwhelm myself with adding some complicated feature. I previously noticed that his app was missing a bit of color so I took the liberty to make his program slightly more pleasing to the eyes.  As I wasn't working directly from the cmd line, I used GIT desktop to clone and pull his project.  As my changes were somewhat minor and didn't have much of an impact Nathan didn't give too many comments in regards to the changes, he was simply happy that I didn't forget to update his README file as my changes

Intro Blog

-            Why are you taking this course? I'm taking this course as I want to have some experience working with people that I don't know. With COVID-19 I know that working with people that you've never seen face to face is becoming more and more of a reality. I'm hoping that this course teaches me skills that I can later translate in my career. -             What is it about Open Source that attracted you? The ability to openly work on projects and know that it is a whole community of people that just want to improve things make Open Source interesting.  -             Where are you?  I was born in montreal and have a french background but live in Milton, Ontario ( Halton Region ). I moved closer to school when the campus transferred to Newnham but luckily moved back home right before COVID started.     -           What are you hoping to accomplish this term?  I'm looking to challenge myself & use this course to refresh myself with languages

Release 2.3

For this weeks pull request I decided to create my own issue in a project.  I found a data structure & algorithm repo that I could give some input into and also move away from html/javascript forms of coding. I chose this repo because data structures are very important to know as a programmer and some of the examples found in this repo could potentially be interview questions. I had created 2 issues for this repo, I wanted to add code so that one could see how to create a power function and a factorial function. The only difference was that I wanted to show both iteratively and recursively how to code those questions. Initially I had requested that both issues would be assigned to me (which was not an issue to me) but hours later after creating my issues I had some interest from other coders who wanted to add some of their code. Being in the spirit of hackoberfest I let one of the issues go and resolved 1 of the issues. This was interesting to me as I was not expecting for others t
