Internship Exercises

These exercises are designed to identify a few key characteristics for potential interns at Copter Labs.

The Exercises

Fork the Repo and Pull a Local Copy

Get a copy of the code on your local machine.

Don't Forget to Initialize Your Submodules!

After pulling the local copy, run the following:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Create a Feature Branch

Pull a new branch in Git for your changes.

Modify the WordPress Child Theme

To complete this test, the candidate needs to modify the child theme to change the footer link.

The current link is:

Powered by 
<a href="http://gethoverboard.com/">Hoverboard</a>

In the child theme, it needs to be changed to:

Modified by
<a href="https://github.com/your_username">Your Name Here</a>

Hints

1. Child Themes in WordPress are used so the parent theme can be reused across multiple projects. You cannot modify the parent theme, or you'll break future updates for the project.
2. WordPress uses Template Hierarchy to determine which files are loaded. Start by checking that out.

Commit Your Changes and Submit a Pull Request

After completing the changes, submit a pull request to the main repo for review.
