TLDR: Codespace = VS Code in browser
I think it's crazy that a tool as powerful as VS Code can be done all within a browser, without needing the extensive download times, extensions, and packages (unless that comes in the future). Codespace is a really neat tool, and going through this assignment helped me understand a new way to perform source control. I was so used to typing in the 'git push', 'git commit - m', etc. that I didn't realize that Codespace just needed 3 clicks instead. Well, maybe VS Code can do that too, but when I used it beforehand I didn't know it was that simple. Leaving myself a few notes here, in case I need the refresher especially with the new 'rackup' and 'rake grade' commands.
Checking live preview and running tests in the terminal
- Click the + sign to add another Bash prompt
- Type "rackup" as the command (no "")
- Live preview complete!
- Click on ports
- Under 'Local Address' click the globe to open in new browser
- Git Source Control (left side squiggly icon)
- Add a comment describing changes
- Commit/ Sync Changes
- Go to normal Bash Prompt
- Type "rake grade"
- Open Rake Grade assignment and copy paste the assignment token (rinse and repeat until everything works, click the red tests to find issues!)
P.S- I'm going to look into what exactly the Bash terminal is (and puma!)
