What is GitHub

Please watch this very short video What is GitHub

GitHub Desktop

The requirements for those applications and full details of how they will be assessed can be found in this repositories Wiki

Step 1

Click on the Use this Template button and create your own copy of this repository

Step 2

Install GitHub Desktop on your computer

Step 3

Create or locate a suitable folder to store all your local repositories, mine is called repos for repositories. Dont use a cloud drive like OneDrive as it can lead to synchronisation issues.

Step 4

Use GitHub Desktop to clone your remote repository to create a local copy in your repositories folder.

Step 5

Start coding the applications on your local copy by opening a BlueJ project in BlueJ. Make changes and commit and push up your changes bit by bit adding a suitable message with each commit so your tutor can see how you developed the application in detail.

You should have one main folder inside of which is all the blueJ project folders. You will find that there are changes to the package.bluej which you did not make but which the system makes as you make other changes. Just commit and push them like other changes. Folder names in Java should start with a lower case letter, I have made one mistake there.
