Lab 4 Git remotes and merges

This weeks goal to take a classmates release 0.1 project and to modify it.

The goal was to implement a "ignore links" feature which would read a flag and ignore links present in a secondary file.

I chose to work on Eunbee Kim project called findBrokenGlass. 

I personally think I was lucky as I had found this repo early in the week but never created an issue. Her code had some similarities to mine and was very easy to modify. 




Currently I am still working with her to get some feedback and to make some changes but as those changes will come, this blog will get updated.

Improving Others Code !

Image
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 ...

Release 0.4.1 + 0.4.2

This is the final iteration for DPS909.  For part 1 and 2 of this last deliverable, I wanted to apply tools that I've learned in the second half of this class. In my previous labs we learned to use code formatters, linters and also used tools to test our code.  I wanted to translate the tools that we recently learned to use, I chose to work on dev-jot as there was many tools that could still be added to the project.  Although this felt similar to my previous labs, I'm still not too accustomed with visual studio code & javascript. I still managed to learn quite a bit.  1. Using the terminal IN visual code is EXTREMELY helpful, instead of having to tab between my windows command line & vs code.  2. VS code is a very friendly platform to implement/add plugins.  3. Understood the package.json nomenclature slightly better.  For this lab for formatting and linting, I used ESlint and prettier. This was fun for me as when working on tel...

Release 0.4.4

This is the final iteration for DPS909.  For part 4 of this iteration, as you may have noticed from my previous contributions. I like to participate with repo's related to math.  This reposition that I found triangle-calculator  is a tool that helps calculate certain values based on user input about a triangle.  I think I caught the owner off-guard as he wasn't expecting for anyone to help with his issue. He was looking to get his tool tested. His code wasn't lacked functions/was not refactored so I couldn't really test his functions BUT I did manage to find bugs in his code. As he had asked me to create issues for him to fix those issues. I fixed minor issues for him and offered to help him with the bigger issues(if he was okay with me doing so).  His code really showed me the importance of commenting/refactoring code as while I was going through his code understanding the logic was slightly tedious.  I tried to use googles testing tool but gave up af...
