GitHub Assignment Submission Guide

Workflow Diagram

Prerequisites

• Create GitHub account https://github.com
• Install Git on your PC https://git-scm.com
• Install Visual Studio Code on your PC https://code.visualstudio.com

Set Up Git Locally

Once Git is installed, set your username and email for proper commit tracking:

git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
    git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

Note: You only need to do this once on your machine. These settings help identify your commits.

Verify Git Configuration

After setting your username and email, you can verify them using the following commands:

git config --global user.name
      git config --global user.email

If set correctly, these commands will print your name and email address.

Example:

$ git config --global user.name
          Alice Doe

      $ git config --global user.email
      alicedoe@gmail.com

Alternatively, you can list all global Git configurations:

git config --global --list

This will show all settings, including your user.name and user.email.

Step 1: Fork the Repository

1. Open: SSSSO-RR-District-Skill-Development-Training
2. Click Fork on the top-right corner.
3. You will now have your own repo copy.

Step 2: Clone the Fork

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/SSSSO-RR-District-Skill-Development-Training.git
cd SSSSO-RR-District-Skill-Development-Training

Step 3: Add Your Assignment

Add your assignment files inside this folder:

may_2025_contributions Git only tracks files, so an empty folder never shows up in a commit. If you need to create a directory in your repo which Git should track, just drop a tiny file inside it, e.g.: sample.txt. VS Code will then list the folder (because it now contains a file), and Git will include it in your commits.

Folder name format: <ID_num>_<Your Name>_submission

git add .
git commit -m "Add assignment 1 solution"

git push origin master
