CIS 3500 Spring 2024 Homework 2 Part 1

The goal of this assignment was to familiarize ourselves with GitHub Actions, and learn from and provide feedback on documentation. It contains the following files:

You're reading it! This file provides an overview of the repository and its contents.

This YAML file defines a GitHub Actions workflow. It's a configuration file that tells GitHub Actions how to run your code.

This PDF file contains a conversation with Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic, where I asked for a line-by-line explanation of the github-actions-demo.yml file. Claude helped me understand the GitHub Actions syntax and concepts.

These screenshots capture the feedback I provided on the GitHub Actions Quickstart documentation. FEEDBACK-1.png shows the initial feedback, and FEEDBACK-2.png shows the confirmation after submitting the feedback.

The assignment involved the following steps:

1. Create a Public Repository: I created this github-actions-quickstart public repository.

2. Follow the GitHub Actions Quickstart: I followed the GitHub Actions Quickstart guide, which walked me through creating the github-actions-demo.yml workflow file.

3. Ask Claude for Help: I copy-pasted the github-actions-demo.yml file into a conversation with Claude, an AI assistant, and asked for a line-by-line explanation. The conversation was saved as CLAUDE-GITHUB-ACTIONS-CONVERSATION.pdf.

4. Submit Feedback on the Documentation: I provided feedback on the GitHub Actions Quickstart documentation by rating and leaving a comment. The feedback and confirmation screenshots were saved as FEEDBACK-1.png and FEEDBACK-2.png.

Note: this readme.md file was created with the help of Anthropic's Claude, partially based off the assignment description
