Instructions

Install Scoop (windows) or Brew (mac)

Follow the instructions here:

• scoop: https://scoop.sh/ (windows)
• brew: https://brew.sh/ (mac)

Linux people, you should know how to handle this

Install git, vscode and nodejs

# windows
scoop install git
git --version
scoop install nodejs
node --version
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install vscode
code --version

# mac
# git should already be installed
git --version
brew install node
node --version
brew install --cask visual-studio-code
code --version

Configure git and vscode

# Set your username and email
# (the double quotes "" are important)
git config --global user.name "Your name here"
git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

# Tell git to use vscode
git config --global core.editor code

# Add colors to the info, not important but fancy
git config --global color.ui true

If you are adventurous, you can also setup your SSH key this will allow you to avoid typing your password everytime.

Write the code !

Once you have installed and configured the necessary tools, create a git repository with a hello.js JS file that display the text Hello There in the terminal.

Don't forget to commit and push the file to the servers
