    • Prepare a fork and local repository to contribute changes to upstream project on GitHub
      • Fork a project on GitHub
      • Clone a local repository from a remote repository

Background:

To learn git prerequisite knowledge, students should first complete Git:_Git_Intro_Activity.

Directions:

See: https://github.com/StoneyJackson/github-workflow-activity


Deliverables:

A shared repository on GitHub.


Assessment:

This activity was not designed for assessment. If one wanted to, one could possibly assess group answers to worksheet questions and the state of each group's shared repository. One could also assess teamwork by circulating while students are working on the activity.


Comments:

Additional Information:

ACM Knowledge Area/Knowledge Unit Software Engineering (SE)
