| Title | Visual Git Game #1 |
| Overview | Students learn from an interactive visual git simulator / game. This activity focuses on LOCAL Git functionality (such as that on your laptop, NOT remote internet-based code repositories).
See Git_Activity_4 for the next in the series. |
| Prerequisite Knowledge | Git_Activity and Git_Activity_2 or an introductory understanding of what SCM is about, and basic git commands. |
| Learning Objectives | Students will be able to ...
|
Background:
Is there background reading material?
- All material is provided in this assignment, though references below may be useful:
What is the rational for this activity?
- Getting familiar with git from the command line is not easy. This activity makes it a game!
Directions:
- Go to tutorial at: http://pcottle.github.io/learnGitBranching/
- Complete all activities under the Main tab
- Take screenshots of your solutions, AS YOU GO through each section
- 15 sections in all, so 15 screenshots
- Init, commit, and then create a remote repo (on github or elsewhere online) of your screenshots
- REMINDER: reuse of open source code is encouraged; submission of someone else's answers is academic plagiarism and will be enforced
Deliverables:
- Send URL / link of remote internet-accessible repository to instructor.
- 15 Screenshots of the solutions of each section, with commits
Assessment:
NA
Comments:
What are some likely difficulties that an instructor may encounter using this activity?
- Students might easily plagiarize or copy of each others screenshots to the solutions.
- To fight this, a REMINDER has been added in the directions.
- Teachers might also mentioned it in-class and spot-check for it in grading.
