# Week 2 overview

## Learning Objectives:
1. Version control with [git](https://git-scm.com/)

1. Python libraries

    a. **Matplotlib**

    b. **Cartopy**

## Learning and Participation Activities with Due Dates (Tuesday, Sep. 5, 3PM EDT):

1. Intro to version control with **git**: demonstrated in class
   
   In a Terminal application, type the following commands:

   ```
   git config --global user.name "Your Name"
   git config --global user.email "Your email address"
   git config --global init.defaultBranch main
   git config --global core.editor "nano"
   ```

1. Clone the `week2` directory in `/spare11/atm533/ktyle`:

    a. Access the [class Jupyterhub server on Turing](https://turing.atmos.albany.edu:8000)
    
    b. In the *Launcher*, open up a *Terminal* session
    
    c. cd to your `atm533` folder
    
    d. Type `git clone /spare11/atm533/ktyle/week2`
    
    e. You should then have a `week2` folder visible in your `atm533` directory, which contains one `README.md` Markdown file.
    
1. Follow these directions:
    
    a. In the terminal, change directories to your `atm533/week2` folder (i.e., this repository)

    b. Create a new "development" *branch* of this repository: `git branch dev`

    c. *Check out* this *branch*: `git checkout dev`

    d. Edit the `README.md` file as directed in that file

    e. Save and close the `README.md` file

    f. Stage your changes: `git add README.md`

    g. Commit your changes: `git commit -m "Updated README"`

    h. Open and complete the `Franklin.ipynb` Jupyter notebook as directed.
 
    i. Save, stage and commit your edits to this notebook as often as you'd like (more often is better!)
