Getting started

First of all, from this template,
name it accordingly and place where it best fits for you.
Remember to check in all desired branches before confirm!

Development environment

Make sure you have Git installed, as wel as Python will also be needed:

$ git --version
git version 2.25.1
$ python3 --version
Python 3.10.6

Thus, clone the recent-created repository locally, and you'll be ready to start developing your projects.

Continuos automation

Project submission is automated through a submit-on-push GitHub Action. It takes in account the branch name to forward the released code to Harvard's me50/{GITHUB-USERNAME} repository, as required.

For it to work you first need to Authorize cs50, as specified on How to Submit section of project's statements. Then, register a PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN secret to your repo, as described here. And you'll be setup!

After that, every push to a branch which name starts with web50/projects/2020/x/ will be submitted accordingly.

Harvard CS50W is divided into 9 lectures, summing up 6 projects.
