Getting Started

Welcome to the course project! To get started with your programming assignments, you'll need to set up your workspace. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.

Step 1: Set Up Your GitHub Account and Fork the Repository

  1. Create a GitHub Account: If you don't already have a GitHub account, go to GitHub and sign up.
  2. Fork the Course Repository:
    • Navigate to the course's GitHub repository: GWData-Bootcamp.
    • Click on the Fork button at the top right of the page.
    • In the fork settings, make sure to uncheck the option 'copy main branch only'.
  3. Clone the Forked Repository:
    • Open your terminal or Git Bash.
    • Clone the forked repository to your local machine using the following command: 
      git clone git@github.com:<YourGitHubUsername>/GWData-Bootcamp.git
    • Replace <YourGitHubUsername> with your actual GitHub username.

Step 2: Set Up Your Local Workspace

  1. Switch to the homework Branch:
    • Navigate to your cloned repository's directory: 
      cd GWData-Bootcamp
    • Switch to the homework branch using: 
      git switch homework
  2. Create Your Personal Homework Directory:
    • Inside the GWData-Bootcamp directory, create a new directory path for your homework submissions: 
      mkdir -p 2023/homework/<YourName>
      • Replace <YourName> with your name or a unique identifier.

Step 3: Submitting Your Homework

  1. Complete Your Assignments:
    • Add your completed assignments to your personal homework directory that you created in the previous step.
    • The assignments should be named as python_submit.txt, numpy_submit.txt, or pandas_submit.txt depending on the type of the assignment.
  2. Push Your Changes:
    • Stage and commit your changes. For example: 
      git add .
git commit -m "Add homework for <SpecificHomework>"
    • Push your homework branch to your forked repository: 
      git push origin homework
  3. Create a Pull Request:
    • Go to your forked repository on GitHub.
    • Switch to the homework branch.
    • Click on New Pull Request.
    • Ensure the base repository is set to the original GWData-Bootcamp repository and the base branch is set to homework.
    • Complete the PR form and submit.
    • The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically check your submission (Homework) and compare it with the solution. If your submission passes the check, a merge request will be initiated. Please note that only the repository owners have the authority to merge the request.

Important Notes

  • Do Not Modify Other Students' Work: It's crucial that you do not make any changes to other students' homework directories and contents.
  • Regular Updates: Keep your fork synchronized with the main repository to get the latest updates and assignments.
  • Automated Checks: The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically check your submission when you create a pull request. Make sure your submission passes the check before you submit it.
  • Happy Coding! 🚀👩‍💻👨
