+##Journal Week 7
+
+Working in groups this week was both challenging and great. While the logistics of having multiple people working on one assignment at once made things a nightmare at times, I really enjoyed learning the git flow process. I found I became much more mindful of everything I did because I knew that it effected not only my code but others' as well.
+
+Being a team leader was very insightful. Having to focus on the big picture and not an individual task was a great exercise in how to view an assignment.
+Too often I focus on each individual task, connecting them when they are all complete, only to find out that things don't work as well together as I had hoped. 
+I really enjoyed being able to help my teammates work through problems they might be having. Though it was hard not to being coding, not having to work on my own
+file meant that I had the time to really help out and trouble shoot some difficult things. I also was able to do research and come up with different solutions while my
+teammates kept working. In the end I found this accelerated the processes tremendously.
+
+Working with a team leader also had many benefits as well. When I found myself stuck on something I knew I had someone there
+to help work through it which was invalueable. I also found that having someone keeping an eye on the big picture was 
+extremely helpful. Often times they would give suggestions on things that would benefit us down the road, like more semantic 
+html tags or specific selectors in sass. 
+
+All in all I found my experience working in groups to be rewarding. I learned a great deal in a shorter time frame just by having a few
+collaborating with others on a task.

+##Resource Week 7
+
+For this week's resource I would like to highlight a site that allows you to write, test, and tweak **Regular Expressions** or **RegEx**.
+
+http://regexr.com/
+
+On the left is a menu with references, cheatsheets, examples, and more. The main section to the right is where you can write 
+RegEx to test on example text which you can replace with your own. 
+
+There is also a video tutorial for how to use the site.

+##[How to Authenticate GitHub on the Terminal with Git](https://help.github.com/articles/caching-your-github-password-in-git/)
+
+Maybe you've just signed up for GitHub and installed Git to use on your command line or perhaps you have been using 
+both for a while but never set up your terminal so you wouldn't have to retype your username and password every time you 
+`git push`. There are two methods to do this: Connecting over HTTPS which is recommended by GitHub, and connecting over SSH.
+This tutorial will use the HTTP method.
+
+1. First you need to verify that you have osxkeychain installed on your computer. You can do this by typing the following command 
+into your terminal.
+
+`$ git credential-osxkeychain` 
+
+If it _is_ available it will return:
+
+`Usage: git credential-osxkeychain <get|store|erase>`
+
+Move to step 3.
+
+If _not_ it will return:
+
+`git: 'credential-osxkeychain' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.`
+
+2. If it is _NOT_ installed then install it using curl in the terminal like this:
+```
+$ curl -s -O \
+https://github-media-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/osx/git-credential-osxkeychain
+```
+This will download the helper. Next type:
+
+`chmod u+x git-credential-osxkeychain`
+
+This will fix the permissions so it can run.
+
+3. Once you have it installed we need to move it to the same directory that Git is in. 
+
+```
+$ sudo mv git-credential-osxkeychain \ 
+"$(dirname $(which git))/git-credential-osxkeychain"
+```
+`sudo` is a command giving you ultimate authority to move the helper. `which git` gets the command path (location) of git
+so that we can move the helper there.
+
+At this point your terminal will ask for a password. This is the password to your computer and not the password you use for github.
+
+4. The last step is to tell Git to use the helper aka osxkeychain globally.
+
+`$ git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain`
+
+5. Now the next time you are asked to enter your username and password for Github it will store this information in your keychain 
+so you will no longer be required to type it in anymore.
