Gitignore files

So I've been trying to make my way through Progit. I have accumulated a whole lot of information so far and I was afraid for how not so often I used it. That I was going to forget it all. Hence my decision to share some of that with you, and with my future self.

Installing Python3 on Linux

Installing Python3 on Linux

Python comes pre-installed on most Linux distros. But if for whichever reason it isn't installed on yours, we'll install it in the next section.

For Arch, run:

sudo pacman -Syu

Fedora:

sudo dnf upgrade
