This page will guide you on how to use Git and GitHub to clone the project repository to your computer. The repository you will clone has a skeleton of how the project should be structured. This structure is also discussed below.

Getting the Repository for Project 5

Follow the next steps to obtain the repository for this project. Read all of the steps before beginning.

  1. Follow this link to get the repository for Project 5.
    1. When you click on the link, you will be asked to login with your GitHub account.
    2. Then you will be asked to accept the assignment. When you do, GitHub will start cloning the project repository to your account.
    3. After the cloning is finished, you will get a link to your assignment. Follow that link.
    4. Lastly, click on the green button Clone or download and copy the URL to the repository.
  2. Use the URL to clone the repository to your computer:
cd ~/Projects/
git clone URL

This tells git to go to the Project page, and clone (copy) all its contents to your folder. It will create a new folder with the project name and download all the files to that folder.

Now, if you list files (ls) in your directory: 

ls

You should see a new folder for Project. Change the directory to that folder: 

cd ProjectFolder/

The Project folder contains the project .pdf file with the questions to be answered by you, and it also contains a skeleton of how you should organize the solution of your project.

After you complete the project remember to push your commits back to your remote repository.
