In this module you'll submit your homework only using GIT and GitHub.

Watch the video (by clicking the image) or go through the following walk-through to learn how to submit your homework:

ONE TIME ONLY (START OF EVERY MODULE)

This module is slightly different as you have already done the one time setup for the homework repo in the previous module. We will be using the same fork as we used there (https://www.github.com/HackYourHomework/Homework-classXX).

EVERY WEEK

  1. Checkout your main branch.
  2. Do a git pull on your main branch to ensure that you are up to date with the latest version.
  3. With your main branch checked out, create a new branch for each week you have homework. For example, for the week 1 homework for Browsers create a branch called YOUR_NAME-w1-Browsers. Because the new branch will be based on the main branch rather than a previous homework branch a new pull request will not be contaminated with any previous work already reviewed. Don't forget to checkout the new branch after creating it.
  4. Make your homework!
  5. Once you're finished, add your homework to a commit. There will be some test reports and config files added by the test runner, this is expected and should be added! These will help the reviewer analyse where you might have run into issues with the homework.
  6. Create the commit (git commit). Make the commit message meaningful, for example finished project for homework week1.
  7. Push the branch to your forked repository.
  8. On the GitHub page of your forked repository, click on the create pull request button. Make sure the base repository is the base repository from which you created your fork (e.g. Homework-classXX), on branch main.
  9. Give the pull request a title in the following format:
Homework week 1 <Your name>
  1. Submit the pull request from your forked repository branch into the main branch

If you have any questions or if something is not entirely clear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, please ask/comment on Slack!
