Follow this video, code along, and create your personal portfolio page. The video takes around 1 hour. However, coding along and creating your own portfolio page might take another few hours. It is okay if you don't fully finish the project. However, we encourage you to take it as far as possible, as you will use the project during your onboarding weeks. While you are coding along, look at this article for further tips: [Code Along Tips](https://medium.com/@ryanfleharty/conquering-the-code-along-5ebe37941f70). {% embed url="" %} 2. **Learn about the Command Line (1 hour)** 1. [Read about the Command Line](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-use-the-cli-beginner-guide/) 2. Try out the Command Line on your Computer! 1. If you use a Windows Operating System, watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBBWVgE0ewk\&list=PL6gx4Cwl9DGDV6SnbINlVUd0o2xT4JbMu) and try out your command line. 2. If you use a Mac or Linux Operating System, watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XgBd6rjuDQ) and try your command line. 3. *If you need further resources, check out* [*this page*](broken://pages/13BPvGL9ovO8ExlGo85J)*.* --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://redi-school-1.gitbook.io/full-stack-bootcamp/foundations/first-small-project.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
