IU GitHub Guidelines for Assignments¶
The course uses private IU GitHub repositories to collect online assignment submissions. The following instructions explain how to setup the private repositories for the course projects.
Overview¶
The assignments
public repository contains assignment
descriptions and submission guidelines in each branch, for example, homework 3
is in the hw3
branch. Each assignment is stayed in an individual branch. A
student creates a private repository in the course organization
bdossp-sp16 and make a pull
request with the template repository.
Required files and directories are added in a student private repository and
they are ready to make changes and submit solutions. Note that the name of the
repository should be IU Username e.g. albert if you have IU email address like
albert @ indiana.edu and should remain in private.
