From d6977b1f98d871030a2dd02720229dab1f6d3974 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GroundedCastle <74363301+GroundedCastle@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:23:34 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Updated Cogency, Syntax, and Clone Explanation The description said to install "NPM/Node." In the link that's provided, the author says that Node is being installed and specifically states that NPM is not being installed. It's more accurate to just say Node is being installed for now to avoid permission issues. Added colon for a list. Removed first person to create a consistent voice. Explained what cloning was because that's not covered up to this point in Foundations. Made the capitalization consistent with the rest of the course. --- README.md | 24 ++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 2d02e8f..8cfeb34 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,25 +1,25 @@ -These are a series of javascript exercises intended to be used alongside the curriculum at 'The Odin Project'.
