Run your first Python program

get-quote.py を開いて 2 行目を確認し、Issue に示されているコマンドを使って Python 3 で実行します。ハードコードされた引用がターミナルに表示されることを確認し、git status をチェックして、ファイルの変更が記録されるように文書化された add、commit、push の手順に従います。

Now you're ready to start coding. Let's get familiar with the files in our repo:

• README.md: a markdown introduction to this project
• get-quote.py: the file where we'll write our Python code
• quotes.txt: a text file with a list of quotes

Open up get-quote.py and comment out line 2 by removing the # from the beginning of the line. It will look like this:

  print("Keep it logically awesome.")

The two spaces (or one tab) in front of the line is important. Python uses whitespace to organize code. This print line is part of the main() function. But more on that in the next step. First, let's try running that Python script.

Use the Python 3 command to run the script. From the command line, type one of the following:

• python get-quote.py
• python3 get-quote.py

You should see our first quote, the one hard-coded into line 2, printed out in your terminal:
Keep it logically awesome.

Push your changes

You've edited your local code, so you have a more recent version than is stored in this repository. You can check that any time by running: git status

It should show one file modified. Every time we want to send our local changes to GitHub, we need to perform three steps:

1. Add the file(s) with changes: git add get-quote.py
2. Commit the changes: git commit -m "Hello World"
3. Push the changes: git push

Once you've completed these steps, we'll write some more Python.
