Getting git (Sept 29 - Oct 6)
Getting git
You will be spending the week finishing up and submitting your P1: Process style guide. The class next week is for project feedback, learning to use git, and forming teams for the final project.
Office hours
Just a reminder that next Wednesday's (Oct 4) office hours are cancelled due to a conflicting school retreat. I will be available for a large portion of Tuesday to meet in-person or remotely, so please email Andrew or message over the course chat to organize a time if you need further support or feedback.
A note about git
Git is not the most understandable system for tracking your code, but it tends to be the best fit for what students do in the course. If you do not usually attend class, you really need to attend next class as git will be integral to projects in the rest of the course.
As per usual, if you have questions or concerns with git (or coding) please do not hesitate to email Andrew or message over the course chat and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Preparing for git
In preparation for next week's lecture, please:
- Sign in at least once to SFU Github. You must have SFU multi-factor authentication set up to be able to log in.
- Download and install GitHub Desktop.
- Configure GitHub Desktop and SFU GitHub.
Questions or concerns?
Of course should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email Andrew or message over the course chat and we will respond as quickly as possible.
