OS Week 00 Assignment #1: GitHub Account

This is neither programming nor a web course. However, assignments will be submitted to GitHub and displayed on GitHub Page.

SIGN UP (or SIGN IN)

  • SIGN UP if you have no GitHub.com account. More details at https://doit.vlsm.org/029.html
    • Preferably, use all lowercase characters for your GitHub account.
    • GitHub accounts are not case-sensitive. Unfortunately, Linux accounts are!
    • See also cbkadal at https://github.com/cbkadal/os232/.
      • But always REMEMBER, you are not "cbkadal"! Always replace "cbkadal" with your own GitHub account.
  • Else, SIGN IN at GitHub.com.


Create a new Repository (os232)

  • More details at https://doit.vlsm.org/030.html
  • Repository name, e.g.:
    • "os232" for the year 2023-2 (odd semester 2023/2024),
    • "os241" for the year 2024-1 (even semester 2023/2024),
    • "os242" for the year 2024-2 (odd semester 2024/2025),
    • "os251" for the year 2025-1 (even semester 2024/2025),
    • "os252" for the year 2025-2 (odd semester 2025/2026),
    • "os261" for the year 2026-1 (even semester 2025/2026),
    • etc.
    • Note: For "os," use lowercase. Do not use uppercase!


Default Branch: main or master ?

  • More details at https://doit.vlsm.org/030.html#idx07
  • The current GitHub DEFAULT Branch is "main."
    • In the past, the default branch was "master."
    • To be "politically correct," GitHub has changed the default branch name from ”master” to ”main.”
    • Many past examples here have been using the "master" branch name.
    • Therefore -- to be consistent -- the "master" branch name will continue to be used.
    • Feel free to use either “main” or “master.” However, it would help if you did not alter your branch name once it has been chosen.
    • To change the default branch name, click "settings."
