Watch the video (by clicking the image) or go through the following walk-through to learn how to submit your homework:

ONE TIME ONLY (START OF EVERY MODULE)

  1. Create a fork of the homework module repository. For JavaScript (as well as the next 2 modules), the homework module repository is https://www.github.com/HackYourHomework/React-classXX where XX is your class number. You do this by using the fork option on the top right
  2. Navigate to the URL of the cloned repository (it should be in your personal GitHub account, under “repositories”)
  3. Clone the repository, using SSH, to your local machine. You can do this by typing in git clone <git url> in the command line
  4. On your local machine, navigate to the folder using the command line
  5. Make sure you’ve cloned it correctly by running git status from the command line.

EVERY WEEK

  1. Do a git pull on your main branch to get the latest version.
  2. Create a new branch for each week you have homework. For example, for the week 1 homework for JavaScript create a branch called YOUR_NAME-w1-JavaScript. Don’t forget to checkout this branch after creating it.
  3. Make your homework!
  4. Once you’re finished, add your homework to a commit. Make sure you only commit your homework files and nothing else. You can use git add -p if you only want to add a couple files. You can always check what is happening with the git status command (as one of our mentors always says, it is the console.log of git!).
  5. Create the commit (git commit). Make the commit message meaningful, for example finished project for homework week1.
  6. Deploy the homework on netlify/now and copy the the deployed link.
  7. Push the branch to your forked repository
  8. On the GitHub page of your forked repository, click on the create pull request button. Make sure the base repository is your teacher’s repository, on branch master
  9. Give the pull request a title in the following format:
Homework week 1 <Your name>
  1. Add the deployed url of the homework to the pull request description.
  2. Submit the pull request from your forked repository branch into the master branch
