INFO 343 In-Class Code

We will use this repo for all code we write in class. To begin, Fork this repo into your own account using the "Fork" button above.

On a Lab Machine?

Tell git who you are:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email your-netid@uw.edu

Clone your forked repo to your machine:

git clone https://your-forked-in-class-repo-url

Add a remote to my original repo and pull any updates I've made to the master branch:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/info343-a16/info343-in-class
git pull upstream master

This may put you into a command-line text editor to approve the merge commit message. On the lab machines this editor will be vim. To accept the default commit message and exit, hit Esc and type :wq (for "write and quit").

On Your Own Laptop?

Get into the directory where you already cloned your repo and execute git status to see if you have any uncommitted changes. If you do, add and commit those changes.

If you haven't yet added a remote to my original repo, do that (only need to do this once):

git remote add upstream https://github.com/info343-a16/info343-in-class

Pull updates that I've made to my master branch:

git pull upstream master

This may put you into a command-line text editor to approve the merge commit message. By default this will be vim--to exit, hit Esc and type :wq (for "write and quit"). If you changed the editor to nano, hit Ctrl+X to exit (listed in the menu shown at the bottom).
