Next up: Part 2 Create a GitHub Repositoryįor the completed Reference Guide Series:

The Terminal program is built-in on Mac computers and uses text commands to operate the computer without using the user interface. In case someone else is in need too I wanted to share the steps I've created for a few common processes needed as a new web developer. As a newbie to web development there are numerous steps to remember and until they've been committed to memory reference materials are my go-to. This is where a quick reference list or guide can be a lifesaver. There are certain job responsibilities or steps of a process that are difficult to remember when performed on an infrequent basis or when learning them for the first time. Throughout my career, I've developed a strategy to set myself up for success when moments of brain overload strike.

Have you ever walked out of a room and then couldn't remember what you started to do? Have you ever convinced yourself a trip to the grocery store can be accomplished without a list only to arrive home without the one single item that was most needed? It happens to me, more than I'd like to admit, and I'm fairly certain I'm not alone.
