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

ONE TIME ONLY (START OF EVERY MODULE)

  1. Create a fork of the HackYourAssignment module repository. For Databases, the assignment module repository is https://www.github.com/HackYourAssignment/databases-cohort## where ' ##' is your cohort 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 (terminal)
  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 an assignment. For example, for the week 1 assignment for JavaScript create a branch called YOUR_NAME-w1-JavaScript. Don't forget to checkout this branch after creating it.
  3. Make your assignment (name your assignment files corresponding to the exercises to help out the reviewer. For example: ex1 - transactions)
  4. Once you're finished, add your assignment to a commit. Make sure you only commit your assignment 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 assignment week1.
  6. Push the branch to your forked repository
  7. On the GitHub page of your forked repository, click on the create pull request button. Make sure the base repository is your mentor's repository, on branch master
  8. Give the pull request a title in the following format:
Assignment week 1 <Your name>
  1. Submit the pull request from your forked repository branch into the main branch
