--- tags: Projects-Summer2021 --- # GitHub Classroom for Projects ## Getting Started By now, you should have set up a GitHub account for previous assignments. If not, follow the instructions [here](https://hackmd.io/@cs18-spring-2021/BkfI_Pky_). Before downloading the stencil code, you should choose your partner, as you will be accepting the assignment together. :::info If you do not yet have a partner when the project is released but wish to download the starter code before partners are assigned, you may make a team (instructions below) with just yourself and clone the repository. Once your partner is assigned, we will help create a team and repository for the two of you. ::: ## Making a Github Classroom Project 1. Follow the link to the assignment given in the handout. 2. You will be prompted to “Accept the Group Assignment”. 3. If your partner has not already created a team, then you should do so. In the field “Create a new team”, enter a team name of this form (ignoring the brackets): ``[github-username1]-[github-username2]...`` 4. If your project team has already been created, join the team. :::warning **Important**: Make sure you join the correct team as there is no way to leave it without deleting the team. ::: 5. Accept the assignment. 6. On the next page, reload and follow the link to your github repo. 7. `git clone` into the repo as you would for a homework assignment. 8. Code away!
