Code and notebooks for BIOM262

Class website

Fork and clone the biom262-2016 Github Repo and start up the week's notebooks

You should have a code and notebooks directory already. If not, create them. Since the biom262-2016 is essentially a bunch of code, we'll clone this into the code directory. Use your newfound knowledge of git and UNIX to go into the code directory and clone the class repo:

1. Fork https://github.com/biom262/biom262-2016 to your username
2. Clone your forked repo to your "~/code" directory.
3. Important: Create a branch for this homework Go into the biom262-2016 repository and add a branch called the week of homework you're working on, e.g. week01. This will allow you to have all your work for this week's homework in one place, and it won't get touched or deleted, even if you update the local code.

When you push code, you'll push to the week01 branch instead of master, e.g.

git push origin week01

Run this command to add the main biom262-2016 repository as the "upstream" repository, so you can always pull changes in.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/biom262/biom262-2016

What if I already cloned the repo without forking?

No worries - you can still get set up properly. Go to the biom262-2016 repo and click "Fork." Then run these commands:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/yourgithubusername/biom262-2016
git remote add upstream https://github.com/biom262/biom262-2016

Note: you will still need to create a branch named after the week
