Interviewee

When I was at Afriwork, I wasn’t just a typical intern. I was actively involved in real company projects and had the chance to contribute meaningfully to the team. That experience exposed me to how a company is actually run and gave me the opportunity to collaborate with some incredibly talented people.

It wasn’t just about learning technical skills it was also about understanding teamwork, communication, and how things operate in a professional environment. That internship played a big role in helping me land my current jobs, and I genuinely value that period. I enjoyed it a lot.

Interviewer

Good,
In today's eras it is easier to build technical skills compared to the past. but What’s your perspective on soft skills like good communication, teamwork, and leadership etc? How can we develop these skills, and how have they benefited you personally?

Interviewee

Frankly speaking, I know I still have room to grow when it comes to soft skills. It's something I'm actively working on and trying to improve step by step.

Because of that, I wouldn’t consider myself the best example to give advice in this area  but I believe that recognizing your own gaps is the first step toward getting better. And that’s the path I’m on.

Interviewer

Alright,i want to ask if
there is  anything you regret not doing during university, or something you did that you now wish you hadn't?

Interviewee

Looking back, I had some struggles during my first and second years. I realize now that I didn’t use that time as wisely as I could have. If I had been more focused or intentional back then, I believe I could be at a much higher level right now.

But I also understand that growth takes time  and recognizing this is part of that growth. I’m not dwelling on regret, but I’m using it as motivation to make the most of every opportunity moving forward.

Interviewer

Good. Finally, would you like to share a message with our audience and us that I haven’t brought up?

Interviewee

you guys are on a good place, keep your progress and you will be  at better place by the time you finished your class

Interviewer

Thank you so much, bro Ermi! I've truly learned a lot from your inspiring journey, and I’m sure our audience has as well. I hope they feel just as encouraged and motivated as I do. Thanks again for your time and willingness to share your story much love and respect, bro!

Interviewee

Thank you so much for having me! I genuinely appreciate your kind words they truly mean a lot. It’s been a pleasure to share my journey. No worries at all  go ahead, Code Biruh Podcast!

🔧 Git & GitHub Basics – Part 2
Learn how to use branches, check history, and work with GitHub easily!

🌿 4. Branches: Manage Your Work

git branch new-branch -> Make a new branch
git checkout branch-name -> Switch to that branch
git checkout main -> Go back to the main branch
git merge branch-name -> Bring changes from one branch into another
git branch -d branch-name -> Delete a branch
git branch -m new-name ->Rename your current branch

👉Tip: Use branches to try new ideas without breaking your main code!

📜5. See Your Commit History

git log -> See all past commits
git log --author="name" -> Commits by a person
git log -- filename -> History for one file
git log -u -> See what changed in each commit
git log --stat -> Summary of changes
git log --patch -> Detailed file changes

👉Great for tracking your work or fixing bugs.

🌐6. Pull & Push: Sync with GitHub

🔽 Pull (download updates):

cd your-folder  
git pull

🔼 Push (upload your changes):

git add .  
git commit -m "your message"  
git push

👉 Tip: Always pull before pushing to avoid conflicts.

⚡️7. Quick Git Commands (Aliases)
Make commands shorter! For example:

git config --global alias.co "checkout"

Now, use git co instead of git checkout 😎

How to push new project(all folders and files) to git

🚀 Part 3: How to Push a New Project to GitHub from VS Code

Here are the quick steps to upload all your folders and files to GitHub:

1, git init – Initialize Git in your project folder
2, git add . – Add all files
3, git commit -m "Initial commit" – Save your changes
4, git branch -M main – Rename the branch to "main" (if needed)
5, git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/repo-name.git – Link to your GitHub repo
6, git push -u origin main – Push your code to GitHub

✅ That’s it your project is now live on GitHub!
