My First Project

This is my very first project I created at php[world]. I learned that I have to create a README file to provide a description of my project so it can be used by other projects or persons.

The steps to create “my first project”

1- create the my_first_project directory

cd ~ && mkdir -p phplibrary/my_first_project && cd phplibrary/my_first_project

2- create a README.md file

vim README.md

3- initialize a git repository

git init

4- Do the first commit

git add .
git commit -m "First commit of my project"

5- Assign a version to your project

git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "version 0.1.0"

6- Create a repository in github or bitbucket 7- Connect your repository with github (or bitbucket)

git remote add origin https://github.com/ConquerorSoft/my_first_project.git
git push -u origin master
git push origin v0.1.0

8- run composer init

composer init

9- enter all the information asked by composer init
