Technical requirements
In this introductory chapter, you will create a GitHub account and a GitHub repository and will review a YAML file, as hands-on practice in preparation for the subsequent chapters in this book. To accomplish all that, you will need the following:
- A computer or laptop with access to the internet, and modern browsers, such as the latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.
- A command-line utility: For macOS and Linux, you will need a system such as Terminal, where you can run shell and
Gitcommands. For Windows, you will need to download and install Git Bash, if you do not already have it installed. - An email address, which you will need in order to create a GitHub account.
- A text editor such as Atom, Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Sublime, and so on.
