Prerequisites

Completion of Introduction to Github. Keep that page open, as steps from that README will be referred to

Objective

Use this repository to store all your Java Projects

Directions

Instruction Set A will ensure you have a copy of your git repository on your computer. If you have a local copy of your APCSA github repository on your computer, skip to Instruction Set B.

Instruction Set B will ensure your Eclipse workspace is set to your local copy of your APCSA Github repository. This means that any projects you create will by default be under version control, and you can follow Uploading your changes to Github to upload changes at the end of every class.

Rewards You will be able to commit and push your code to your own private repostitory on Github! Making it easy to browse and accessible from everywhere.

Your expected workflow during class is then:

1. Arrive and load your Git repository as your Eclipse workspace
2. Commit and push all your code at end of class.
3. ??
4. PROFIT!! (by getting experience working with version control and being able to take advantage of the snazzy Github interace when viewing your code. It will surely come in handy when you're studying!)
