Introduction

In preparation for your next project you will be practicing working with git for this exercise.

Instructions

For this exercise you will be setting up a repository and publishing your P3 submission for viewing.

For this week's exercise:

1. Make sure to have GitHub Desktop installed.
2. Please start a new SFU GitHub repository with a readme file.
3. Using GitHub Desktop, clone the repository to your local computer.
4. Locate the folder for your repository and add your P3 materials to the repository.
5. In GitHub Desktop, stage and commit the changes with a meaningful commit message.
6. In GitHub Desktop, push your changes to the remote repository.
7. Confirm the changes have been pushed by visiting the repository on SFU GitHub.
8. While in the repository at SFU GitHub, follow steps 6-9 in the linked tutorial to publish your website from the main branch.
9. Make sure you can view your site at https://pages.github.sfu.ca/computing_id/repository_name, where:
   • computing_id is your SFU computing ID.
   • repository_name is the name of the GitHub repository you have created.

Please submit the URL of your pages link — https://pages.github.sfu.ca/computing_id/repository_name — to the Canvas assignment.

Your submission is due before on Nov 3.

Exercise rules reminder

Please remember that the exercise rules still apply:

1. AI use is not permitted for code exercises. These are your opportunity to practice some of the basics we will need to progress through the course.
2. You can use other online resources, course materials, your TA, and lab-mates for support. This being said, others are not allowed to do your work for you. Also, if you are drawing from online resources, course materials, your TA or peers, you must;
3. Cite any knowledge that is not yours in a comment in the code. The internet is a huge repository of information and you are welcome to use it, but you must let us know when something does not originate from your own knowledge.
4. If work has been copied without citation the exercise grade will be zero. Please make sure to include comments indicating where you had assistance or learned.
