This semester, we will be using GitHub to distribute the starter files for your labs and for you to submit your work. GitHub is a widely used platform to store code that uses the Git protocol to save all changes to your code. The great thing about using Git is that it allows you to go back to earlier saved versions of your code if you make a mistake.

You should save your files back to git whenever you make progress on part of the lab assignment, and especially before you leave the lab.
The first thing you will need to do is create a GitHub account. Go to GitHub and create a new account using the signup link in the upper right hand corner of the website. You can choose any username that you like. If you already have a GitHub account, you can continue using that account. Almost every programmer has a GitHub account, and it’s a great place to save code that you might want to share with people (such as potential employers).
In order for your lab assignments to be graded, we need to know which GitHub account is your’s, especially if you chose a fun personal username that isn’t the same as your first/last name. Please fill out this short Google Form to share your username with us so that we can make sure you get credit for all the great work you will do this semester.
