+### What is the importance of github in the real world? Is it so people can collaborate on code together, or maybe its somewhere to share your code and help others/inspire other code writers or a combination of both?
 
+GitHub facilitates both collaboration and social access of code. It can also host websites (like this one) (and my [lab site](https://ml4sts.com/) ). It is deisgned to faciliate things that developers need.

+
+### How do these git commands work in the terminal?
+
+So far we used the terms, but have not seen the command directly yet. We will see them on Tuesday 1/31. 
+
+### What are checks used for in the pull request tab?
+
+Checks can run tests or other quality checks on the code. For example, they can check that the code follows good style or that contributions do not change the test coverage. 
+
+### Will we go more in depth in creating forks and features that git has?
+
+Yes we will go in depth on git features.  We may not spend a lot of time on forks though (which are a GitHub feature). We will cover git in a way that does not cover every possible command, but focuses on *How* the most important ones work so that you have the foundation to understand the other parts (and new features that are introduced) quickly. 
+
+### How are these systems used in work outside college?
+
+We will learn more about this later when we discuss the Stack overflow developer survey. 
+
+### why does the branch have more commits then the main. I think i understand, but it could be clarified
+
+This is a good question.  The branch had more commits than main because we told GitHub to make the new commit on a *new* branch.  New branches have all of the history of the branch used to create them, plus any commits made to that branch.

 ### Which shell is best for windows?
 
 This is a really big question that I cannot answer authoritatively, but I can say that bash is the most common on unix, which a lot of servers use, so we will use that.  To use bash on Windows, I recommend Git for Windows (GitBash) or Windows subsystem for linux
 
 ### Also, if pre-class work needs to be attached to experience badges, is the experience (in class) action supposed to be selected before each class to attach the requested work, or will it all be attached at the end of class?

+### Where do I see what I need to submit?
+At the bottom of the notes, the pages in the activity section of this website and the issues that will be created on your kwl repo will all have the same information. 
+
+### When can there be office hours so that I can make sure I am doing things correctly?
+
+TA office hours are now posted! Also, as we go through and give feedback, we will be able to tell you if you did it right or not and help you.  That's a good thing about what we have done so far: All of it is fully visible to us and we can help fix it.  
+
+### Do students like how this class is graded?
+
+This is the first semester with these badges. The other system students liked some parts and found some parts made it too easy to fall behind and hard to know if work was all done.  The badges were designed to make it easier to keep track of your work, while still offering choices. 
+
+I use a similar system in CSC/DSP310, students who pay attention to how flexible it is, tend to like it.  Students who stay confused and do not ask for help tend to think that my other course is more strict than it actually is and do not like it. 
+
+### Do we ahve to do all the prepare class takss to get the experience badge or just some of them.
+
+You need to do all of them, but my goal is that prepare for class tasks should take about 30 minutes per class session.  Sometimes they may be longer (espeically setup/install ones, for reasons beyond my control).  When I can anticipate that one may be a longer one, I will post it early with a marker that it advanced notice, like "start thinking about x" or similar.  I will then post it again on the class before like, "Make sure that x is done".
