Still playing with GitHub

I finished the Git Immersion tutorial that I started yesterday. I really enjoyed the way that the material was presented, and though I was a little lost near the end (mostly in how the commands exactly worked, not the concepts) I thought that it was a good introduction to how to work with version control software.

I only catastrophically destroyed my repo once (more like needed to redo five minutes of work), and I figured out exactly what not to do when I'm managing my own work. (For future reference: hard resetting to the beginning of the tutorial is not a recommended course of action.)

Backups: always a good idea.

From this I've decided that my next project is going to be putting together some of my basic fasta file scripts into a toolkit, which will give me the opportunity to both clean out my junk drawer of code and also put some of my newly found version control knowledge to use.

Most of the rest of the day will be spent tinkering with this before I have to go home. School starts next week and I want to enjoy the most of what time I've left. I'm pretty sure that will mostly be playing Dota2 and writing, but we'll see what that brings!
