SEIR64

Steps to do

1. Set up your repository.
2. Do your homework.
3. Submit your homework.

Set up your repository

You only need to do this once, not every time you're submitting homework!

1. Fork this repository

'Forking' creates a personal, 'forked' copy of this repository on your Github account.

• Hit the Fork button in the top right-hand corner of this page.

2. Clone your forked repository to your computer

'Cloning' takes your 'forked' repository on GitHub and creates a local copy - or 'clone' - on your computer.

• Make sure you're browser is open to your forked version of this repository on Github (eg http://github.com/{YOUR_USERNAME}/SEIR64-homework).
• Hit the Clone or Download button in the top right-hand corner of the page and copy the URL to your clipboard.
• Open your computer's terminal to the directory in which you intend to store your homework.
• git clone URL_OF_YOUR_FORK_ON_GITHUB (where URL_OF_YOUR_FORK_ON_GITHUB is the URL you copied after hitting 'Clone or Download', above).

3. Add an upstream remote repository

Adding an upstream repository links the local repository on your computer to the original repository on Github (i.e. mine, the one from which you created the fork)

• cd SEIR64-homework
• git remote add upstream https://github.com/Bissmark/SEIR64-homework.git
• git pull upstream main

Do your homework

You should put each night's homework in a new folder within the appropriate directory of your homework repo. So, for day two, where you have two tasks ("Calculator" and "Strings"), you might do something like this:

1. Open Terminal/iTerm2/Ubuntu;
2. Go to your local homework repo (eg, cd ~/Projects/SEIR64-homework);
3. From here, go to the folder matching your name within that repo, and the appropriate week / day (eg, Taylor Swift/wk01);
4. Create new folders for each of the day's homework tasks: (eg mkdir calculator and mkdir strings);
5. Create the files necessary to complete the homework in their respective directories;
6. Get to it!

Submit your homework

You need to do this every time you're submitting homework.

• Commit your work to your local repository progressively
  • Make sure you are in the correct folder containing the homework you want to submit.
  • git add .
  • `git commit -m “TASK_STATUS YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE_GOES_HERE”(where TASK_STATUS will be COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE. YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE_GOES_HERE is your description of the work you are committing)
• Push your changes to your forked repository
  • git pull upstream main - merge changes that have been made to this repository into your own local repository (if a weird screen appears on this step, PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT 2 NOTED BELOW).
  • git push origin main
• Once you're finished, submit a pull request for me to accept your homework
  • Navigate to your forked version of this repository on Github (eg https://github.com/{YOUR_USERNAME_HERE}/SEIR64-homework).
  • Hit the Pull request button.
  • Make sure the destination for the pull request is set to my repository, not your own or anyone else's.
  • IMPORTANT: In the pull request comment, tell me the following: "1. How difficult did you find this (out of 10)? (0 being no problems at all, 10 being impossible); 2. Was there anything that you struggled with?; 3. Is there anything that you'd like some further information on?; 4. Roughly how long did it take?" If you don't mention anything in the Pull Request comments, we will assume you had no problems at all with it, and you will receive no feedback about your homework. If you want to follow up on any issues you had with the homework, the ideal time for that will be during the more unstructured lab time after lunch - come and see Joel or myself then and we can go over any outstanding questions. Note: if I haven't yet merged your Pull Request into my main homework repo before it's time to submit the next day's homework, you won't be able to create a new Pull Request. That's okay - for the new homework just add a new comment to the open (existing) Pull Request, featuring the same four points given above to describe your response to it.
  • IMPORTANT 2: When you make pull request by git pull upstream main, git might generate the auto merge message for you. Don't panic! Just type :wq (it will weirdly appear on the bottom left of your screen once you start typing) and hit return key on your keyboard to accept the message, then you can move on with you life!
