Week of Monday, May 24th
Classwork/Homework
Use asynchronous time to work on your final projects, being sure to make commits to your git repos as evidence of your work.
Evaluation
Your grade this week will be determined by the evidence of your work as it exists in your git repo. I will be specfically looking for the following things in your git repos:
- You should be making frequent commits over the period of time when we have class (at least three different days during the week). You should commit each time you make a substantial change to your project.
- Your commit messages subject line (and we are only including subject lines)
should always complete the following sentence:
If applied, this commit will your message here
It should begin with an imperative mood verb, start with a capital letter, and end without a period (see How to Write a Git Commit Message for more about how to write good commit messages). - You should have removed all unwanted digital artifacts (like
.DS_Storefiles, vim swap files, binaries, etc.). You should add things like.DS_Storeto your.gitignorefile to keep them from creeping into your repo.
