Wanting to create a new repository on GitHub, add in a few of the available options that can come with an initial repository such as:

How to apply a gradient tint over a background image?

Set the background image

The first step is to set the background image.  I wanted the image to cover the entire device, so scale aspect fill will be required.

self.backgroundImage = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "bgkMain"))
self.backgroundImage.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
self.view.insertSubview(self.backgroundImage, at: 0)

To connect to your CPanel hosted server via SSH OSX, please follow these steps:

To copy the content of a directory /source to another existing directory /destination can be achieved with the command cp -a

cp -a source/. destination/

Changing the variables accordingly:

• source = challenge/vendor/
• destination = stg/vendor/

cp -a challenge/vendor/. stg/vendor/

First transfer the drupal-8.8.x.tar.gz file to your directory

Via your ssh program (for us Terminal on OSX), enter the path to the directory where you transferred the drupal-8.8.x file

While the Drupal site has a great outline of the steps to follow, I found we needed to tweak so the update would work for us.  I found the update process from 8.7.10 to 8.8.0 that worked on our sites was as follows

Find by file name

To perform a find command in terminal use

find / -name php.ini -type f

find / -name {filename} {type parameters}

Note there are many parameters in the commands, so I'll cover a couple regular expressions here.  Such as, 

In Vim, following is an outline of the vi(m) functions you can utilise whilst in command mode - yes they are case sensitive

A recent attempt to run an update composer (regular activity for many of us), I had a memory limit issue.  This was surprising because the memory setting via Plesk is set to 2G.  Yet through Terminal it was showing only 128MB.  What gives??  

The error I was seeing:
