Today you'll be building your very own platform to write blog posts. You will be able to write blog posts and save them.
This is often referred to as a content management system (CMS).
At the start of each step, you will need to 'checkout' to a new branch on Git.
At the top of your instructions you'll see something like this:
git checkout [name of a particular branch]
git merge [name of previous branch]Make sure to checkout to the relevant branch before continuing.
You will see code snippets throughout the walkthrough. Try to resist the urge to copy and paste - you will learn much more if you get into the habit of typing things out.
Your mentor is there to help you. Don't let them die of boredom - talk to them and ask questions!
