Keep track of your Progress
Now that you have joined WDX, you’ll have to keep track of your Progress each day of each week. In order to do so, below you will find the steps required to do, after you have successfully forked WDX-180 repository and cloned it locally!
Prerequisites
Since the progress files are using the CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, it is probably a good idea to become familiar with this data format.
At this point, you should have already watched the Understanding CSV Files video, so you have some basic understanding of what CSV is.
In order to read and manipulate CSV files efficiently, you watch this YouTube video which throws some extra tips.
Steps to do at the end of each day
- Make a copy of the draft progress sheet (e.g.
user/weekXX/progress/progress.draft.wXX.dYY.csv) for the week XX(range 01 - 36) and day YY(range 01 - 05 OR weekend) in theuser/weekXX/progress/folder with the following nameprogress.wXX.dYY.csvExample :
Copy
user/week03/progress/progress.draft.w03.d04.csvand rename touser/week03/progress/progress.w03.d04.csv. As, you can see, we are just removing the .draft part of the filename. It’s important to note at this point, that the .draft version of these files should remain intact. You should neither delete/update or rename these files. - Update completed tasks of the day YY.
- Stage the changes that you’ve made to your git repository (
git add) - Commit the staged changes with a small message (
git commit -m "<MESSAGE_PLACEHOLDER>") - Push to your forked repo.
- Sync your repo’s version with WDX-180’s main branch version.
At this point, you might want to re-watch the progress updating part of this video walkthrough before doing your first updates.
