Objective(s)

To practice the git operations we discussed in class.

  1. Clone the course repository.

  2. Create a new branch.

  3. Add a .md file under the participants directory that contains your:

    • Name
    • Graduation year
    • Major

    Note: Each parameter should be under a h2 heading.

  4. Commit your changes and push your branch to the origin.

  5. Submit a pull request.

  6. Approve someone else’s pull request.

Notes

In this case, you have write access to the repository. However, there will be times where you want to contribute to a project but lack the ability to modify the repository directly. In such cases, you should fork, create a branch, make changes, and then submit a pull request. You are welcome to use this so-called “fork and pull request” workflow for this assignment (i.e., as opposed to cloning the repository directly).

Deadline

You should complete these operations before class on Friday, January 9.
