Python teach and learn

This is a repository to teach and learn Python.

If you are a teacher, you can use all the exercises on this repo for your own purpose: teach some concept, exams, etc.

As a student take a look to the explanations below.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.6.
• Git installed.
• A GitHub account.

Repo structure

On master you only have a few files, every exercise is inside his own branch.

Every branch has a name with index + what we learn. For example the first branch is 0_hello-world. Also, we have modifications to the main exercise on a branch, example: 0.1_hello-someone. This modifications add more complexity to the main problem like is usually done on code katas.

Katas starts with a simple problem and will be more complicated on every step

Step by step guide

If you fork this repo, never update the original branches because you could have conflicts in the future. Instead of that, create new branches.

Step 0: Read it

Yes, this should be your first step, read this README and, of course, we start with 0 not 1. If you do not know why, we will see it in the future, be patient.

Step 1: Fork

You should fork this repo and then start working with it. How? We will see a step by step guide with git commands.

If you use another tool like GitHub Desktop take a look to their docs.

Step 2: Setup the upstream

This step is required to have the latests updates from the main repo in your forked one.

When you setup this you will be able to:

1. Update the master branch of your forked repo.
2. Get any new branch created from the main repo.

Add upstream remote origin

git remote add upstream [email protected]:mrroot5/python-teach-learn.git

Update branches

This could be done with the fetch button on GitHub:

Or with a git command:

git pull upstream master

Simply change master for the branch you want. On GitHub you must change to a new branch to have the option to fetch it.

Update list of branches

I do not know if GitHub have an option to do this so, this is the command:

git fetch upstream
