whatever the next step is, I definitely need GIT on my computer. The issue? I have a chromebook, I can't run things. The solution to that is something called chromebrew, but to get that I need to set my computer to dev mode

to change to dev mode means to powerwash my computer, to lose everything on here

and of course I can back up files and write down passwords but like? there's something symbolic here

@mothman you don't, ultimately, want to be running your instance on your computer. That means when you turn off your computer your instance disappears, not to mention that you'd need a way to publicly expose a static IP.

Instead of nuking your drive, get a cheap ubuntu instance from AWS or DigitalOcean or Scaleway and set it up there! :)

@mykola oh thank you very much!! I honestly don't know what any of this means, I'm learning a lot in this whole process. I wasn't planning on running it on my computer (I don't think?) I'm using something called scalingo and I need git to 'talk with' the running of the instance

@mothman ah, got it! yeah it can help to have git locally but you may not even need it as long as you can ssh into your remote scalingo server?

@mykola I've been trying to figure out how I could do that ! I really am out of my depth with this project I feel

@mothman yeah it's not simple, requires a pretty heavy knowledge of devops practices but if you can get it working you'll have learned a _ton_!
