- Install git following the instructions included here. If you're using Ubuntu you can just:
$ sudo apt install git-all
- Fork this repository to your GitHub account and clone the forked repository into your local Hard Drive:
$ git clone https://github.com/<your-account>/<lab-repo>.git
Git will create a new folder named as the repository you're cloning and will convert it automatically into a git repository.
- Once you're into your newly created folder (repository) you can create a new branch for start an assignment:
$ git checkout -b <lab-name>
Each project/lab has its own directory in which you'll find a README.md file and, in most of them, a sub-directory named your-code. The descriptions and requirements of the assignment can be found in the README file. When you work on the assignment, create your code files in the your-code directory and save regularly while you work using:
$ git add <files-to-add>
$ git commit -m "lab-started"
$ git push origin <branch-name>
After you finish, perform a last commit as follow:
$ git add <files-to-add>
$ git commit -m "lab-finished"
$ git push origin <branch-name>
The instructional team will review your branch and provide feedback.
To work on the subsequent assignments, create a new branch for every new assignment.
❗ You may be asked in the future to update your forked repo because the curriculum development team is developing new assignments for you as the course proceeds.
