No Face (@ADTVP)

Homework part 5 I am running Linux Mint 20.1 Today we are going over the basics of GitHub and will be installing No More Secrets. No More Secrets is a fake program from a movie from the 90's (Sneakers) about a program that retrieves the passwords of any login. The program we will be installing is a useless/fun one that encrypts a text from a file or from a word you typed then decrypts it before your very eyes. 21: Go to http://Github.com, search for no more secrets, click on the first link that pops up, and copy the URL. 22: In terminal (everything from here on we are doing today is in terminal) type git clone and paste the URL (enter) 23: type ls see how some words are bold and in blue those are foldes, the white are files, and the green are programs. type cd no-more-secrets to change directory to the file folder no more secrets 25: the cat command is a way to read a text document (nano alters, cat reads) so cat http://README.md (this is annoyingly case sensitive) and look for the installation instructions. 26: in that http://README.md file you will see the instructions if you want to cheat (which why bother these lessons are for you to be better) the commands are: make nms-ncurses and sudo make install . Now that you have this how does it work? 27: in terminal type nms it will ask you to enter input so type anything you want (I typed test and got this ═±σL then hit any key and watch as it decrypts itself. Kind of cool. 28: hit ctrl+c to cancel out of it and return to the main sceen. 29: hopefully you're still in the no-more-secrets folder (you don't have to be to run the program I just want to so show you something that is in there) type cat http://README.md | nms (enter) (that long line is called a pipe and is located above the enter key) 30: watch as the whole screen fills up slowly with encrypted text hit enter and it will unencrypt itself. For fun ideas look up ASCII art (pictures that are made of text and symbols like when you type neofetch) or you can find a ASCII Art Generator and make your own text files, save it in a txt file, and run them with that program and watch a picture get decrypted right before your very eyes. Yes this project is silly but you learned how to use GitHub originally I wanted to go over Ventoy but they changed how to install it so I had this instead.
