Submitting Weekly Assignments with git and GitHub

Beginning to end process for each week:

1. Fork the course organization's weekly repo from https://github.com/MUSA611-CPLN692-spring2019/cpln692-weekX :

2. Open up the command line (mac terminal, windows PowerShell, etc)

Navigate to a location on your computer where you want to clone the repo locally, I'd recommend you create a folder in a location that will become standard for each week I.e /Users/rbernet/penn/cpln692

3. Type in the command:

$ git clone https://github.com/rossbernet/cpln-weekX

Make sure you are cloning your personal fork and not the course organizations repo

4. Open that directory in atom.

If you have atom shell tool installed you can type:

$ cd cpln692-weekX
$ atom .

5. Do the assignment.

Save it.

6. Committing and pushing changes with git

Make sure you are in the weekly assignment's directory in the terminal. You can confirm this by viewing the pre-staged changes git is tracking by typing in: git status You should see something like this.

This sequence of git commands will allow you to push the updates from your local copy to your remote personal repo:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE"
$ git push

(git may ask for your GitHub password after the git push command)

7. Creating a Pull Request to the Class's Organization Repo:

In Chrome, go to your forked copy on your GitHub repo. You should see something like: - Click Pull Request - Then it should show something like: - Then click Create new pull request:
