Welcome to Stuart Vibe Coding Community!
Let's build cool stuff together with AI
What Do We Do Here?
- We're a small, friendly group learning to code with AI tools
- We meet monthly at the Stuart Chamber of Commerce
- We work on fun projects together — like games!
- All skill levels welcome — seriously, even zero experience!
Our Goal
Build a project together as a community
Each person or team can work on their own piece of the project, then we combine everyone's work into one awesome final result.
Think of it like building with LEGO — everyone makes their own part, then we snap them together!
The Challenge
How do we all work on the same project without chaos?
- Multiple people editing the same files = disaster
- How do we share code without emailing files back and forth?
- How do we keep a "final" version that always works?
- How do we try new ideas without breaking everything?
The Solution: Git & GitHub
Git = A tool that tracks all changes to your code (like Google Docs history, but for code)
GitHub = A website where we store and share our code online
GitHub Desktop = A friendly app that makes Git easy (no command line needed!)
Key Concepts
Repository (Repo)
A folder containing your project and its history
Clone
Download a copy of the repo to your computer
Branch
Your own workspace to make changes safely
Commit
Save a snapshot of your changes with a note
Push
Upload your commits to GitHub
Pull Request
Ask to merge your changes into the main project
Our Workflow
This keeps the "main" version safe while everyone experiments!
Getting Set Up
You'll need:
- GitHub account — free at github.com
- GitHub Desktop — download at desktop.github.com
- A code editor with AI assistance (see next slide!)
Prefer command line? You can use Git directly — totally fine!
AI Coding Tools
Use whatever you like! Here are some options:
The magic happens when you tell the AI what to build and it writes the code!
Let's Build Something Awesome!
Questions? Just ask! We're all learning together.
