Homework Task 2: Gitting to Know YouΒΆ

Tell Us About Yourself

This is a way for you to learn a bit about gitHub, and how you are going to submit most of your homework.

  • Create a new folder in the students folder in the class repository.
    • Create the folder in your clone of your fork of the repository.
    • Name it with your own name in CamelCase, like: ChrisBarker.
    • In the folder create one new file, named README.md (or README.rst)
    • In that new file, write up a few paragraphs about yourself.
      • Use proper markdown syntax. (or reStructuredText)
      • Include at least two headings, of different levels.
      • Include at least one link.
  • Using git add, add the new folder and file to your clone of the repository.
  • Using git commit, commit your changes to your clone (write a good commit message). If you later edit your file, don’t forget to commit those changes too.
  • Using git push, push your commits to your fork on GitHub.
  • In GitHub’s Web UI, make a pull request to the original CodeFellows repository.

Remember, GitHub is a public place. Your work in this repository is visible to the world.
