github-plus-university

This source code goes along with my two blog posts:

• GitHub + University: How College Coding Assignments Should Work
• GitHub + University: A Follow Up

Install

To install it, just be sure to have NodeJS installed and run the following:

$ cd app/
$ npm install

Config

There are a lot of hardcoded strings within the scripts, if I have time, I will try to remove these.

In addition to the hardcoded strings, a students.csv file is required. It should be a CSV file of the list of students in the class.

It should follow the format below:

last_name, first_name, university_id

check out the sample students.csv

Running

To run it, just run:

$ node server.js

or you might want to look into a tool like forever which ensures that your server won't crash if it has an unexpected error.
