YOLO

Welcome to Coding!

Hey there! Whether you're writing your first line of code or you're a seasoned dev who's tired of writing commit messages, you're in the right place! YOLO is here to make coding more fun and less tedious ✨

New to Coding?

Don't worry! We'll walk you through everything, starting from absolute basics. With AI by your side, learning to code has never been easier!

Experienced Developer?

Skip the basics and jump straight to automating those tedious tasks. Let AI handle the commit messages while you focus on what matters!

First Things First: Your Development Environment

Think of your development environment as your digital workshop. We'll help you set it up step by step, no prior knowledge needed!

Don't worry if some terms sound unfamiliar - we'll explain everything as we go along. By the end of this guide, you'll have a professional coding setup that both beginners and experts love to use!

Installing iTerm2 - Your Command Center

iTerm2 is like a super-powered version of your Mac's Terminal. Think of it as your computer's control room, where you can type commands to make magic happen! ✨

Even if you've never used a terminal before, don't worry! We'll guide you through each step, and soon you'll be typing commands like a pro.

  1. Visit the iTerm2 website
  2. Click the big "Download" button (it's usually in the top right)
  3. Once downloaded, open the file (it might be in your Downloads folder)
  4. Drag the iTerm2 icon to your Applications folder - that's it!

💡 If you see any security warnings, that's normal! macOS is just being careful. Click 'Open' when prompted.

The Magic Setup Script

Now for the fun part! We've created a special script that sets up everything you need. It's like having a technical friend do all the setup for you!

Here's what our magical script will install:

  • Homebrew: Think of it as the App Store for developers
  • Zsh & Oh My Zsh: Makes your terminal beautiful and smart
  • Python: A friendly programming language to start with
  • Node.js: Powers modern web development
  • Git: Keeps track of all your code changes

Don't worry about understanding everything yet - just know that these are the tools the pros use!

# Just copy and paste these commands into iTerm2:
curl -o setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/baudevs/setup/main/setup.sh
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

💡 The script will ask for your password - this is normal! Your Mac needs permission to install these tools.

Git: Your Code's Time Machine

Remember when you could press ⌘+Z to undo changes? Git is like that, but WAY more powerful! It's your code's time machine, and it's essential for modern development.

What Git Does

  • Saves all versions of your code
  • Helps you work with others
  • Lets you experiment safely
  • Tracks who changed what

Why You'll Love It

  • Never lose your work
  • Try new ideas without fear
  • Collaborate easily
  • Industry standard tool

And here's the best part: YOLO makes Git even better by automating those tricky commit messages! Let AI handle the boring stuff while you focus on coding.

# Git is already installed by our script, but here's how to set it up:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

# Try your first git command:
git --version

💡 Don't worry about memorizing Git commands - YOLO will help you with that!
