 This repository contains starter code for Stanford CS106L, a course on Standard C++ programming.
 
-## Getting Started
-
-Before getting started, a few prerequisites:
-
-* You will need [Python 3.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/) or higher on your computer. You can check by running `python3 --version` (`python --version` on Windows) in a terminal.
-* You will need an IDE you can code in. We encourage you to use VSCode for this class ([see guide below](#vscode-setup-instructions)), but you may use any IDE that you can comfortably write and compile C++ code in.
-* You will need [Git](https://git-scm.com/). If you are using VSCode, you should already have this. You can check by running `git --version` in a terminal.
-
-Next, download the starter code. Open up a terminal (if you are using VSCode, hit <kbd>Ctrl+\`</kbd> or go to **Terminal > New Terminal** at the top) and run the following command:
-
-```sh
-git clone https://github.com/cs106l/cs106l-assignments.git
-```
-
-which will download the starter code into a folder `cs106l-assignments`. If you are using VSCode, you can then open up a VSCode workspace dedicated to CS106L:
-
-```sh
-cd cs106l-assignments && code .
-```
-
-and you are ready to go!
-
-### Fetching assignments
-
-As we update existing assignments and release new ones, we will push updates to this repository. To fetch a new assignment, open up a terminal to your `cs106l-assignments` directory and run
-
-```sh
-git pull origin main
-```
-
-You should now have the latest starter code!
-
-## VSCode Setup Instructions
-
-We recommend using VSCode to write C++ code for this class. See instructions below to setup VSCode/GCC for your machine.
-
-### Mac
-
-#### Step One: Installing VSCode
-
-Go to [this link](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac)
-and download Visual Studio Code for Mac. Follow the instructions on this webpage under the
-section **Installation**.
-
-Inside VSCode, head to the extensions tab <img src="docs/vscode-extensions.png" display="inline" height="20px"></img> and search for **C/C++**. Click on the **C/C++** extension, and then click **Install**.
-
-<b> 🥳 At this point you should successfully have VSCode on your Mac 👏 </b>
-
-#### Step Two: Installing a C++ Compiler
-
-<ol>
-  <li>
-    Check if you have Homebrew by running 
-    <pre lang="sh">brew --version</pre>
-    If you get something like
-    <pre lang="sh">
-brew --version
-Homebrew 4.2.21</pre>
-    then <b>skip step 2 and go to step 3.</b> If you get anything else that looks sus then proceed to step 2!
-  </li>
-  <li>
-    Run this command:
-    <pre lang="sh">/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"</pre>
-    which is going to download Homebrew🍺 which is a package manager. Woot woot.
-  </li>
-  <li>
-    Run the following command:
-    <pre lang="sh">brew install gcc</pre>
-    which is going to install the compiler (GCC).
-  </li>
-  <li>
-    Make note of which GCC version Homebrew installs. In most cases, this will be <code>g++-14</code>. 
-    By default, the <code>g++</code> command on Mac is an alias to the built-in <code>clang</code> compiler. We can fix this by running <pre lang="sh">echo 'alias g++="g++-14"' >> ~/.zshrc</pre> to make <code>g++</code> point to the version of GCC we just installed. Change <code>g++-14</code> in the above command to whichever version of GCC you installed.
-  <li>
-    Restart your terminal and verify that everything worked by running the following command:
-    <pre lang="sh">g++ --version</pre>
-  </li>
-</ol>
-
-### Linux
-
-These instructions are for Debian-based distributions, like Ubuntu. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
-
-#### Step One: Installing VSCode
-
-Go to [this link](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux)
-and download Visual Studio Code for Linux. Follow the instructions on this webpage under the section **Installation**.
-
-Inside VSCode, head to the extensions tab <img src="docs/vscode-extensions.png" display="inline" height="20px"></img> and search for **C/C++**. Click on the **C/C++** extension, and then click **Install**.
-
-<b> 🥳 At this point you should successfully have VSCode on your Linux machine 👏 </b>
-
-#### Step Two: Installing a C++ Compiler
-
-<ol>
-  <li>In a terminal, update the Ubuntu package lists by running <pre lang="sh">sudo apt-get update</pre></li>
-  <li>Next install the G++ compiler: <pre lang="sh">sudo apt-get install g++-10</pre></li>
-  <li>By default, the system version of G++ will be used. To change it to the version you just installed, you can configure Linux to use G++ version 10 or a higher version installed like so: <pre lang="sh">sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-10 10</pre></li>
-  <li>Restart your terminal and verify that GCC was installed correctly. You must have a GCC version of 10 or higher: <pre lang="sh">g++ --version</pre></li>
-</ol>
-
-
-### Windows
-
-#### Step One: Installing VSCode
-
-Go to [this link](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows)
-and download Visual Studio Code for Windows. Follow the instructions on this webpage under the
-section **Installation**.
-
-Inside VSCode, head to the extensions tab <img src="docs/vscode-extensions.png" display="inline" height="20px"></img> and search for **C/C++**. Click on the **C/C++** extension, and then click **Install**.
-
-<b> 🥳 At this point you should successfully have VSCode on your PC 👏 </b>
-
-#### Step Two: Installing a C++ Compiler
-
-1. Follow the instructions at [this link](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw)
-    * You should be doing the instructions under **Installing the
-MinGW-w64 toolchain.**
-
-2. After fully following the instructions under **Installing the
-MinGW-w64 toolchain** you should now be able to verify
-everything worked by running the following command:
-
-```sh
-g++ --version
-```
+To get started, [follow the setup instructions in A0](/assign0/README.md)!
