Proj0-Hello

Trivial project to exercise version control, turn-in, and other mechanisms.

Instructions:

  • Start by forking this repository on github, then cloning onto your development machine.

  • Copy the credentials-skel.ini file to credentials.ini and fill in appropriately.

  • Modify the program "hello.py" so that it prints "Hello world". (Nothing more and nothing less.) Note that you do NOT do this by changing the hello.py source file. Rather, the message is a configuration constant from the credentials.ini file; fix it there.

  • Replace these instructions with a proper README including the author, contact address, and a brief description of what the software does.

  • Test your program locally; revise and re-test as needed. (How long can it take, really?)

  • Commit your changes. You will need to use "git add" on your files hello.py and README.md, but not on credentials.py, because that file does not belong on github. (In later projects it will contain confidential information, like access keys and passwords for web services.) Your changes must be "pushed" to your public repository on github so that the auto-checker can "clone" them back to the grading machine.

  • Test your code with the auto-checker. Revise and push changes as needed.

  • Turn in with Canvas. The file you turn in is credentials.ini. We use the repository link in your credentials.ini to access the rest, just like the auto-checker.
