Welcome to the mobile app development class! This repository will hold the weather app which we will be working on each class. Follow the steps below to set up your environment, complete your assignments, and submit your work for review.
Before you begin, make sure you are logged in to your GitHub account. If you don't have a GitHub account yet, create one here.
-
Go to the main repository URL:
https://github.com/danwhite-osucascades/cs492-weather-app.git -
In the top-right corner, click the Fork button to create a copy of the repository under your own GitHub account.
- This will create a forked version of the repository that you can modify without affecting the original repository.
-
Navigate to a directory on your local machine where you want to store the repository. You can use the terminal to move to that directory. For example:
cd ~/Documents/Projects
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/cs492-weather-app.git replace with your own user name
- Navigate to the new repository
cd cs492-weather-app- Add the original repository (this one) as a remote to keep your fork updated with the changes that we make
git remote add upstream https://github.com/danwhite-osucascades/cs492-weather-app.git- Fetch the latest changes
git fetch upstreamEach week, during class, there will be in-class assignments. These will be held under specific branch names (i.e. assignment1-1)
To complete the assignments, you'll need to check out that branch, complete the TODOs, stage, commit, and push those changes to your own remote repository.
The following example is specific to assignment1-1. You will be given a new branch each class, so changes assignment1-1 to that branch name and follow the instructions below:
- Checkout main branch
It is good practice to checkout back to main before fetching changes and creating new branches.
git checkout main- Fetch the latest changes
As mentioned above, you'll need to fetch the latest changes each time as the branches will be pushed to the professor's repo prior to each class.
git fetch upstream- Merge the upstream main into your repo's main
git merge upstream/main- Checkout the assignment-specific branch
git checkout -b assignment1-1 upstream/assignment1-1- Complete the TODOs
Look through the assignment and complete all of the TODOs for that assignment.
- Stage Changes It should be safe to stage all changes (unless you made changes to files outside of the scope of the assignment)
git stage *- Commit Changes
git commit -m "Completed work for assignment1-1"- Push changes to your repository
git push origin assignment1-1- Submit a link to your branch
Verify that the assignment branch was pushed to your remote repository with your changes. Copy a link to your branch and submit it for that assignment on canvas.
