Learning Journal

View the live project here.

Learning Journal is a web app that I created to demostrate how you can operate on stored data with Django framework. The technical purpose of this app is to show how to apply the four basic operations of persistent storage, create, read, update, and delete (CRUD).

From user's perspective, with Learning Journal you can keep a list of the topics you're learning about, and keep track of your progress. Whenever you learn something new about a topic, make an entry summarising what you've learned.

How to Fork and Clone

Forking the GitHub Repository

By forking the GitHub Repository we make a copy of the original repository on our GitHub account to view and/or make changes without affecting the original repository by using the following steps...

1. Log in to GitHub and locate the GitHub Repository
2. At the top of the Repository (not top of page) just above the "Settings" Button on the menu, locate the "Fork" Button.
3. You should now have a copy of the original repository in your GitHub account.

Making a Local Clone

1. Log in to GitHub and locate the GitHub Repository
2. Under the repository name, click "Clone or download".
3. To clone the repository using HTTPS, under "Clone with HTTPS", copy the link.
4. Open Git Bash
5. Change the current working directory to the location where you want the cloned directory to be made.
6. Type git clone, and then paste the URL you copied in Step 3.

$ git clone https://github.com/Renato79/Learning-Journal/

7. Press Enter. Your local clone will be created.

$ git clone https://github.com/Renato79/Learning-Journal/
