Due date: Wednesday, September 25, 2019.

Read the comments on Canvas posted on your homeworks 2 and 3 submissions and fix the problems mentioned in those comments. Email me if you need more clarification on any of them.

Install a version of GIT appropriate for your system from < a href="https://git-scm.com/">https://git-scm.com/. From this site, follow on Downloads, then View GUI Clients. For Windows and MacOS, you can download GitHub Desktop. The instructions below will refer to the application GitHub Desktop.

Go to the site GitHub and create an account for yourself if you don't have one already. Then sign in to your account. I would recommend to read the guide before doing anything else. Then open your GitHub Desktop application and sign in with the account you have created by going to the File menu, Options.

From the Repository menu, create a new repository from the File menu and call it Canfield.

• For the path, leave it as GitHub suggests, or enter another path you prefer. If the folder you created for homework 3 is called Canfield, you can choose it.
• Check the option to Initialize the repository with a README.
• Under the description, write something such as "A simplified C++ console version of the game Canfield."
• Under the License, leave it empty.

Files:

If your directory was already called Canfield, then all the files should have been there already and added to the project. Check under History that all the files have been added to the repository.

If not, copy the files from homework 3 to this directory (in the File Explorer). Then go back to Git Desktop, and under Changes, you should see all the files that you added to the folder. After that, click Commit to master to add these files to the repository. Check in the History to see that they have all been added.

Publish repository:

When all the files have been successfully added to the repository, click on Publish repository to create a master copy of the files on GitHub.com. Un-check the box "Keep this repository private for now" to make it available to the public.

Go to GitHub.com and login with your account. On the left, under Repositories, you should see the new one that you have just created. Click on it to see the list of files.

Readme file:

Click on the README file created by the Git program in your repository, then on the edit button on the right next to the trash can. (it looks like a pencil). Add a short explanation of what the repository contains, as well as a brief explanation on how to compile and run it. Then add a description of the rules of the game. Leave an empty line between paragraphs.

Further work:

• To create a copy of this repository on a new computer, create a Pull Request. To create a non-git version of the repository, click on Clone or download.
• After making changes to any local repository, commit the changes to master. After one or multiple commit actions, you need to click on Push origin to upload these changes to the cloud repository.
• When your local copy of the files is not the latest version, you need to do a Pull origin operation to update your local copy from the cloud.

In the submission text on Canvas - Assignments - Homework 4, provide a link to your GitHub account or to the Canfield repository in your account.
