How to hand in homework

In this module you'll submit your homework only using GIT and GitHub.

1. GitHub homework guide

Follow the walkthrough to learn how to submit your homework for each week:

ONE TIME ONLY (START OF EVERY MODULE)

Create a fork of the HackYourHomework module repository. You do this by using the fork option on the top right
Navigate to the URL of the cloned repository (it should be in your personal GitHub account, under "repositories")
Clone the repository, using SSH, to your local machine. You can do this by typing in git clone <git url> in the command line
On your local machine, navigate to the folder using the command line
Make sure you've cloned it correctly by running git status from the command line.

EVERY WEEK

Create a new branch for each week you have homework. For example, for the week 1 homework for Datanases create a branch called week-1-homework-YOUR_NAME
Inside the correct week folder, create another folder called homework. Make your homework files in there, while on the correct branch
Once you're finished, add and commit everything. Make the commit message meaningful, for example finished project for homework week1
Push the branch to your forked repository
On the GitHub page of your forked repository, click on the create pull request button. Make sure the base repository is the original, on branch master
Give the pull request a title in the following format:

Homework week 1 <Your_Name>

Submit the pull request from your forked repository branch into the master branch of the original repository (which is HackYourHomework/databases)
Do a little victory dance because you did it! Good job!
