Today was one of those struggle days. I have not been able to figure out why sass and gulp won’t run from my Git Bash but runs from the Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

• I read up on the WordPress Theme development handbook for the first time. It definitely cleared up some of my vague understandings.
• Started trying to breakdown the Sass shell script to better understand what I am doing wrong that is not allowing me to run sass from my git bash terminal. I think learning what I need to solve this problem will really help me level up my understanding of Paths and ENV variables in shell scripts.

Frustration and My Plan to Fix It

I honestly don’t have much to say today except that I am frustrated. All that I can say is that I need to review some key concepts from terminals and computer environments. I learned a bit but I know my understanding of globals Paths and Environment variables is still a bit fuzzy. I had opened two wikipedia pages on the topics about a week ago but never got around to reading them. I guess now is the time and I can start tomorrow.

Ultimately, being stuck means that this is an opportunity for me to learn and better understand what the problem is and why I’m having this problem. This is not the “Stack overflow magic solution time”. It may be slow but I truly believe in taking a step by step approach and moving with competence rather than rushing. Anyways I’m still frustrated lol.

Conclusion

That’s all for today. If you are interested in the MIT course you can check out the video lecture I’m currently going through. The lecture is helpful but isn’t sufficient by itself. Anyways, until next time PEACE!
