Hello, World! Challenge

We need to make sure we feel comfortable with our software and especially the idea of version control.

As with all challenges, do this work in pairs. Help each other! Talk! Compare notes! Revel in the solidarity!

Challenge

Create your cart253 repository and make multiple edits to and commits of README.md

To do this:

1. Follow the Hello, World Learning Materials in order to

   • install the necessary software (or make sure you can open it on a CDA computer)
   • create a course repository
   • learn about version control
   • make a couple of changes to a sample project
   • enable GitHub Pages

(Ideally, use the text-based materials rather than the video so you can easily talk to each other.)

1. Now that you’ve mastered version control, use your text editor to make changes to the README.md file in your main repository (the cart253 folder), taking the opportunity to practice with markdown for formatting. Commit and push to the repository with a good commit message.

Help and ask for help from your partner and from the instructor and teaching assistant as needed.

Extra: See if you can display an image in README.md.

Evaluation

When you’re finished, or have done everything you can do (with help), check in with the instructor or teaching assistant to show them your work and they will confirm you’ve passed the challenge and can submit it on the Moodle.

This challenge is pass/fail and is worth 1% of your final grade.

Submission

Once you’re cleared to submit, go to the Moodle and both submit your work. You should each separately submit:

• Your name
  • The link to your repository on GitHub (e.g. https://github.com/pippinbarr/cart253)
  • The link to the website version of your repository on GitHub Pages (e.g. https://pippinbarr.github.io/cart253)
• The name of your partner for this challenge
  • The link to their repository on GitHub
  • The link to their website version
