Code reviews!

Tips

1. Code in any language you want to.

2. You don't need to have the complete solution before you submit a pull request. It's better to get feedback as you work through the problem.

3. To make it easier for others to run your code, please include a build script and README detailing how to build, run, and test your code.

4. Watch the https://github.com/CougarCS/code-reviews repository to receive all code reviews for everyone in your e-mail. This way you can learn from more people.

5. Have fun!

Instructions

0. Install git.

   On Unix, Mac OS X, use your package manager.

   On Windows, install Git Bash. You can type your git commands in the Git Bash shell.

   If you are new to Git, go through the tutorial at https://try.github.io/.

   Create a GitHub account.

1. Go to https://github.com/CougarCS/code-reviews. Click fork.

2. Clone your fork:

    git clone https://github.com/[YOUR USERNAME]/code-reviews
   

3. Open up a bash prompt (Git Bash on Windows). Change your directory to the cloned repository:

    cd code-reviews
   

4a. Run the command:

   ./review.pl

This will present a menu that will help you make pull requests on separate branches for each problem.

4b. If you understand how to branch, you can choose not to use review.pl. Use the convention of {problem name}/{Github username}.

For example,

   # Github username is foo
   git clone https://github.com/foo/code-reviews
   cd code-reviews
   # you must use upstream/master as your start point to have a clean pull request
   git checkout -b prob01-poker/foo upstream/master
   # solve problem
   git push origin prob01-poker/foo

5. Submit a pull request by going to your pull request page or go to

    <https://github.com/<GITHUB USER>/code-reviews/compare/>
   

   and compare against the branch for the problem.
