Git initialise new repository with existing source

Image
If you have an existing folder with code you want to push (commit) into a new fresh git repository you need to first create the repository in GitHub or Bitbucket. You also need to have git installed on your local machine. To start off in the directory you have your existing code project git init Connect to a remote repository git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:username/reponame.git Add files to the commit git add .

Why you should use rem instead of px in webdesign

Image
Ive always used px sizes in my font styles. It's an out of date practice and there is a more modern way. Rem is the modern equivalent with some benefits.

Example of a font size specified in pixels (px): font-size: 16px; Example of a font-size specified in rem: font-size: 1rem; In the above example, if the browser preferences are set to default this will typically be 16 px.  So this will mean that 1 rem is equivalent to 16px.  If the user overrides that setting, then 1rem will be equivalent to the new font size in px set in the browser settings. By using rem instead of px for you font-size

Web 3.0: Component driven responsive design

Image
Responsive web design is now a mature method to create layouts for desktop and smaller width screens.  We rely on media queries that detect the screen width to adjust the layout and widths of our pages and their components. The issues we face with responsive web design is that we can’t always easily move a section of a page onto a new page without work to recreate its responsive behaviour within the context of the new page container. This is where a new method called responsive component design helps to address this specific problem.    Responsive components are self contained parts of a page that are completely portable. You can move them to new pages of your site and they will adjust their layout and size based on the neighbouring components on the page.  Responsive design, by contrast adjusts the widths of components based solely on the page width.  As of Q4 2021 responsive components are currently rendered using JavaScript.  I expect based on the technical community focus on this a
