 #### .gitignore
 
-When working with packages that are installed with npm, you don't need to track the contents of `node_modules` with git, nor push those files to GitHub. This is because the `package.json` file contains all the information, so that anyone can clone your project and install them on their machine with `npm install`.
+When working with packages that are installed with npm, you don't need to track the contents of `node_modules` with git, nor push those files to GitHub. As we learned in the [npm lesson](https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/node-path-javascript-npm), the `package.json` file contains all the dependency information, so that anyone can clone your project and install them on their machine with `npm install`.
 
-You can make a `.gitignore` file in the root of the project, and by writing file or directory names in it, you can tell git what things you don't want to track. It's customary to add `node_modules` to `.gitignore`, since it can get really big.

It's customary to add `node_modules` to `.gitignore`, since it can get really big. Similarly, `dist` is often ignored as it can be generated when someone runs the command to bundle/build the application.
 
-When creating a new repo on GitHub there is an option to specify a `.gitignore` template.  There are many templates out there that include common files and directories that are not typically tracked based on the type of project or language used.  When looking for a template for JavaScript projects there is a `node` template that includes `node_modules`.

 ### Assignment
 
 <div class="lesson-content__panel" markdown="1">
 
-1. Start the project the same way you began the webpack tutorial project.
-    1. Run `npm init` in your project directory to generate a `package.json` file.
+1. Start the project the same way you began the webpack tutorial project, by creating the `package.json` file and setting up Webpack.
 
-    1. Run `npm install webpack webpack-cli --save-dev` to install webpack to the node_modules directory of your project.
+    - Remember, you only need to install and configure the things you need for your project. For example, if you do not plan to have local image files linked in your HTML template, you will not need to install and configure `html-loader`.
 
-    1. Create a `src` and `dist` directory with the following contents:
-        1. An `index.js` file in `src`.
+1. Create a `.gitignore` file in the root of your project. It should contain the text `node_modules` and `dist` on separate lines.
 
-        1. An `index.html` file in `src`. This file will not need a script tag, because we're using `html-webpack-plugin`, which automatically adds that in. You will also not need to link a CSS stylesheet as you should be importing it into your JavaScript and letting your webpack configuration handle bundling.
+   ```text
+   node_modules
+   dist
+   ```
 
-        1. Create a `webpack.config.js` file that looks just like our file from the [Webpack "Getting Started" tutorial](https://webpack.js.org/guides/getting-started/#using-a-configuration). Don't forget to add the `html-webpack-plugin` config to your `webpack.config.js` and set its `template` option with a path to `src/index.html`.
+1. Set up an HTML skeleton inside of `src/template.html`. Inside the body, add a `<header>` element that contains a `<nav>` with buttons (not links!) for different "tabs" (for example buttons for "Home", "Menu" or "About" etc). Below the `<header>`, add a single `<div id="content">`.

-
-1. Inside of `src/index.js` write a `console.log` or `alert` statement and then run `npx webpack`. Load up `dist/index.html` in a browser to make sure everything is working correctly.
-
-    - Quick tip: If you run `npx webpack --watch` you will not have to rerun webpack every time you make a change.
+1. Inside of `src/index.js` write a `console.log` or `alert` statement and then run `npx webpack serve`. Open [https://localhost:8080](https://localhost:8080) in your browser and check your JavaScript is running.
 
 1. Inside `div#content`, create a homepage for your restaurant. You might want to include an image, headline, and some text about how wonderful the restaurant is; you do not have to make this look too fancy. It’s okay to hard-code these into the HTML for now just to see how they look on the page.
 
 1. Now remove everything inside `div#content` from the HTML (so you still have the `<header>` and `<nav>` with an empty `<div id="content">` below it) and instead create them by using JavaScript only, e.g. by appending each new element to `div#content` once the page is first loaded. Since we're all set up to write our code in multiple files, let's write this initial page-load function inside of its own module and then import and call it inside of `index.js`.
 
-1. Next, set up your restaurant site to use tabbed browsing to access the Contact and Menu pages. Look at the behavior of this [student's live preview site](https://web.archive.org/web/20221024060550/https://eckben.github.io/bearysBreakfastBar/) for visual inspiration.

-    1. Put the contents of each 'tab' inside of its own module. Each module will export a function that creates a div element, adds the appropriate content and styles to that element and then appends it to the DOM.

     1. Write the tab-switching logic inside of `index.js`. You should have event listeners for each button in the header navbar that wipes out the current contents of `div#content` and then runs the correct 'tab module' to populate it with the new contents again.
 
-1. If you are using GitHub pages to host your completed page you need to do a tiny bit more work to get it to show up. After running `webpack` the full bundled version of your site is available in the `dist` folder, but GH pages is looking for an `index.html` in the root directory of your project.

-        - To prevent having to copy and paste the same lengthy git command each time, you can instead create an npm script to do the work for you!
-            - Inside your project's `package.json` file, within the `scripts` section, add an additional entry named something of your choosing and paste in the command from the above gist surrounded by quotation marks. Follow the formatting of the already added `test` script.
-            - For Example:
+1. Let's deploy to GitHub pages! First, we will need to bundle our application into `dist` by running `npx webpack`. Unfortunately, we need to do a little more work to deploy to GitHub pages, because GitHub Pages tries to look for an `index.html` *in the root of your project*, but yours is inside `dist`! We will need to do a few steps to push *the contents* of your `dist` directory to its own branch on GitHub, which will then have a root-level `index.html` for GitHub pages to serve.
 
-              `"scripts": {
-    "YourScriptName": "git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages"
-  }`
-            - Now each  time you need to update your project's live preview, you `npm run <YourScriptName>` in your project's terminal.
