If you have not created a Learning Lab course before, it is recommended to take the course on creating a course!

1. Create a repo called <MY-COURSE-REPO>, and add the contents of the directory course as the initial contents for that repo.
2. Create a repo called <MY-COURSE-REPO>-template, under the same owner as <MY-COURSE-REPO>, and add the contents of the directory course-template as the initial contents for that repo.
3. In <MY-COURSE-REPO>:
   1. Update the value of META in generate-config.js, and regenerate the config.yml by running:

      node generate-config.js > config.yml
      
   2. Flesh out the details of the course in course-details.md
   3. Add instructions for each of the steps of the course as individual markdown files in responses/
   4. Update the value of STEPS in generate-config.js to add details of each of the steps that course participants need to do, and regenerate the config.yml by running:

      node generate-config.js  > config.yml
      
   5. Commit your changes and push to the repository
4. In <MY-COURSE-REPO>-template:
   1. Update .qlpack with an appropriate pack name, for example rename it qlpack.yml, and the language of the database that queries will be run against.
   2. Create a README.md with e.g. some initial instructions for the user to go to their Issues tab to get more instructions.
   3. Update .github.to.move/workflows/action/Dockerfile to reference the tag of the dockerfile from your Query Checking Action:
5. Add your course to https://lab.github.com

• GitHub Packages can't directly be used by an actions.yml file, see: #14

• Learning Lab can't currently create courses with Actions workflows, see: #15

  In the meantime, make sure your course includes instructions on how users should rename .github.to.move to .github before writing queries.
