IU GitHub Guidelines for Assignments

The course uses private IU GitHub repositories to collect online assignment submissions. The following instructions explain how to setup the private repositories for the course projects.

Overview

The assignments public repository contains assignment descriptions and submission guidelines in each branch, for example, homework 3 is in the hw3 branch. Each assignment is stayed in an individual branch. A student creates a private repository in the course organization bdossp-sp16 and make a pull request with the template repository. Required files and directories are added in a student private repository and they are ready to make changes and submit solutions. Note that the name of the repository should be IU Username e.g. albert if you have IU email address like albert @ indiana.edu and should remain in private.
