This repository contains the materials you need in order to turn in the Group Project assignments and Reflections assignments.

Navigate to https://github.com/HIST5152/assignments.

Make sure you are logged into GitHub. It will show a small icon at the top right if you are logged in!

Create a repository from this template. (GitHub documentation here)

• Click the green "Use this template" button
• If you have more than one GitHub username, choose which username you would like to be the new repository's owner.
• Rename the repository if you want to, and add an optional description.
• Choose for the repo to be publicly visible.
• Click "create repository from template."

The folders in this repository already have template documents in them. These templates are editable and will be how/where you submit your assignments.

The editable documents are written in Markdown format (.md). Markdown works just like a normal text editor, but formatting (like bold, italic, bullet points, etc.) is slightly different. (Here is a cheatsheet for how to do text formatting with Markdown if you're curious)

• Click on the assignment you wish to submit.
• Click the pencil icon at the top right of the window for that assignment's template.
• Follow the directions and guidelines for the individual assignment.
• When you're ready to submit the assignment
  • Type or paste any text into the designated part of the template document.
  • Paste any URL links into the designated part of the template document.
  • If you have an image or other file to upload from your computer, drag and drop it into the document. GitHub will turn it into a link, but don't panic! You can click the "Preview" tab at any time without losing your changes if you want to make sure everything looks ok.

GitHub is a version control system, which means it will allow you to save multiple versions of a single document and be able to track the changes made each time. That makes it very convenient to submit assignments! The next steps are very important!! "Commit" your changes at the bottom of the page you are editing.

• Type "DONE" in the bigger text box (This will let me know that you are finished with the assignment). Optionally, you can type an extended description in the box.
• Make sure the radio button is selected that says "Commit directly to the main branch."
• Click the green button that says "Commit changes." GitHub does not autosave!!! Don't forget to do this!!!
