Welcome to CloudAdvisory!
You have just joined CloudAdvisory as a new developer. Your first assignment is to contribute to the Mini Finance Project, a personal finance dashboard designed for tracking transactions, expenses, and user profiles.
This is not just an academic exercise—you will follow industry-standard Git workflows and collaborate just like real developers do. At the end of this project, you will submit a Pull Request (PR) to the CloudAdvisory GitHub repository, which will be reviewed by our team.
The Mini Finance project is a static website that helps users manage their financial data. The key sections include:
✅ Dashboard Overview – Displays account balance, transactions, and financial insights.
✅ Profile Page – Stores user details like name, email, and contact information.
✅ My Wallet – Allows users to manage payment methods.
✅ Settings & Help Center – Enables users to update preferences and seek assistance.
By working on this project, you will practice Git & GitHub in real-world workflows, including:
🔹 Cloning a Repository – Work with remote repositories on GitHub.
🔹 Branching in Git – Create and switch between feature branches.
🔹 Staging & Committing Changes – Track modifications properly.
🔹 Pushing Changes to GitHub – Synchronize your work with the remote repository.
🔹 Submitting a Pull Request (PR) – Collaborate using industry best practices.
