Before I am starting this chapter, I have no clue about the Command-Line and git, I am used to using my keyboard and mouse to navigate through my files, and if I ever wanted to sync my local files to the internet I would mostly upload them. However, when I got introduced to the Command-Line and Git, I found out that it is actually easier to use them to sync my projects than going through different websites and uploading them in different places. The best thing about using the Command-Line and git is that I can constantly update the changes I made within my codes and if I made any mistakes I can always go back in time and get my older code instead of backtracking.

As a newbie trying to utilize the Command-Line and Git, the most challenging part was to memorize the command codes to does what I want them to do, but once I started to use it more often, it got a lot easier as time passes by and I can master it in no time. The most rewarding part of this part was that I can pretty much do anything only using my keyboard and if I ever made a mistake I can backtrack and don’t need to spend lots of time to find out what went wrong. Also, the Command-Line and Git will let me know the changes I made so even if I wanted to keep the new code I can still switch out the bad one and make my code work again.

With ROOT’s technology, I get to know what exactly I needed to know to get started, the steps provided by ROOT’s technology is easy to follow and they will let me know what command line is a must know and what command line I should pick up later down my path. Overall, thanks to ROOT’s technology I get a fast track to master what I need to be successful in my web development journey.
