Day 5: My DevOps Journey – Getting Started with the VIM Editor
Hello, readers! 👋
Today marks the fifth day of my DevOps journey. 🚀 I dedicated this day to learning the basics of the VIM editor—how to navigate, edit, and interact with it effectively.
I started by installing VIM on my system using the command:
sudo apt install vim
Since this was my very first day exploring VIM, I kept my focus on learning the fundamentals. I decided not to dive into styling or formatting text just yet. My goal was to get comfortable with basic navigation and editing to build a strong foundation.
Next Steps: Shell Scripting 🐚
My immediate next task is to start learning shell scripting, and I aim to cover the basics within the next two days. I’ll also use VIM to practice shell scripting during this time, which will help me improve my skills in both shell scripting and VIM simultaneously.
Challenges of the Day 😔
Today was a bit challenging. It was a working day at college, and with placement season in full swing, there was some added stress. This limited the time I could dedicate to learning DevOps. Despite that, I made the most of the time I had and learned something new.
That’s all for Day 5! Thanks for joining me on my journey. I’ll see you tomorrow with updates on my progress. 🚀
