I’m starting to play with deep learning, machine learning, artificial intelligence in a variety of ways from statistics, linear algebra, calculus, Python via KhanAcademy, DataQuest.io, Coursera courses, Udacity Courses, EdX courses (refreshing my memory in some cases). So I thought I would start to blog about my discoveries which will hopefully help you as well.
Mac Git Download
Git for Mac Installer The easiest way to install Git on a Mac is via the stand-alone installer: Download the latest Git for Mac installer. Follow the prompts to install Git. After you have successfully installed Git on Mac, you’ll need to provide secure communication with your Git repositories by creating and installing SSH keys. Creating SSH keys on Mac To communicate with the remote Git repository in your Beanstalk account from your Mac, you will need to generate an SSH key pair for that computer.
Install Git Bash On Mac
Download Git for Mac - A reliable, free and open source distributed version control system specially made to help you to efficiently and easily manage large and small projects. To install Git without using Xcode, you can use Homebrew (which is great for installing other tools as well) - it comes highly recommended. I prefer using Homebrew over the dedicated download and install options like you used for Git.
I was watching a video by Siraj Rival about Python for Data Science and he had put a code sample up on Github. Github is a repository for code (an online code versioning system) where people post and share code with each other. It’s becoming more of an online resume where employers can see that you’ve actually worked on projects, not just padded your resume ?
Download Tortoisegit For Mac
So when we find a cool project we want to play with we can download the code to our local machine using Git on our Macs. Git is a code versioning system (maintaining/updating code in an organized way) and Github is an online version of that. If you don’t know how to install Git, check out this article on installing Git.
Instead of downloading a zip file, forking the repo (using Github website to copy the code to my Github account) or using Github for Mac I wanted to download the code from the command line.
In the image above you see a green Clone or download button for a Github project. The project uses Scikit-learn for Python to do data analysis. Click that to see a dropdown where you can copy and paste the URL to the .git file. We’re not going to download the ZIP file. We’re going to pull the files from the Mac terminal instead. Go ahead and open a Mac terminal (it’s under Applications->Utilities). Go to a directory you’d like to install the code in (I use the default which is Users/myusername).
Github Download
To clone a Github repository you just type: git clone <URL to repository>
so for us, this is: git clone https://github.com/llSourcell/gender_classification_challenge.git
Git Download For Windows
This pulls the code down and will make a directory based on the project name (gender_classification_challenge). Now you can cd (change directory) into the gender directory and play with the code like I am going to do!
