Turn It In

Overview
Some tips on turning in Assignments.
Basics
I will usually want to see the following:
- The URL of your GitHub repository. For instance: https://github.com/charliecalvert/JsObjects
- Branch. In the Turn it in section of an assignment I will usually specify a branch. If I don't, just tell me what branch you did work on. If you don't understand branches yet, and don't know what to supply, put in master.
- Folder: The directory your work is in. Usually something like week02-name-of-assignment
- Tag: As described below
Even if I don't mention these things in the Turn it in section of an assignment, you must do them.
Git Tag
After you commit and push, tag your commit like this:
git tag -a vX.X.X -m ""
git push origin vX.X.X
Where vX.X.X is some version number of your choosing. For instance, v1.0.1. Each tag should have a unique version number. Your tag can have more in the string SOME_STRING_CHARLIE_GIVES_YOU, but it must have at least that much. If I don't give you a string, include the name of the assignment exactly as it appears on the Canvas home page.
View tags:
git tag -l -n1
If you have hot yet pushed your tags, you can delete them fairly easily:
git tag -d vX.X.X
To learn more about tags see the git tag documentation
