How to log in, click and find an element (Coronavirus version)

As this is last minute this "contactless" class will be up to you, please have a look at about 1,5 hours of tutorials at https://docs.cypress.io/examples/examples/tutorials.html#Best-Practices . Feel free to send any testing questions our way. We can prepare some Q&A for next "contactless" class :)

Exercises

Basics (2019-10-29)
- Install some text editor if you don't like vim/nano
- Set git username and email
- Add a ssh key to your GitHub account
- Fork the SWI-2019 repository
- Clone the repository
- Set up remotes
- Create new branch
- Create a file <github login>/commit.md inside the repository
- Add some text to the file and create 1st commit
- Add the hash of the 1st commit to the file and create 2nd commit
- Add another line of text to the file, then add diff to the file and create 3rd commit
- Create a pull request to the upstream repository
Synchronization (3rd class) Everybody open the file git-rebase.

Read the instructions carefully please :).

Every instruction should be one commit (this time).

so your first commit would just be deleting a line
and your second commit would change the other line
and so on :)

After you're done there..

Create a PR.
You should have a PR with 8 commits, not on your master branch - if not, try again :).
tell us - wait for a conflict
update your branch & resolve conflicts
reorder commits so that food-related commits are together
squash food-related commits into one
delete commit with your favorite color
rename commit with your favorite season to something in UPERCASE
edit commit with your favority city so it's Helsinki

EXAM

Remember to read instructions from Git. It will tell you what to do :)

Update your master.

Everybody open the file exam.

Read the instructions carefully please :). Use your notes or Google as much as you want. But do not talk with your classmates please.

Please switch to a new branch.

Every line should be one commit (this time).

so your first commit would just be changing a line
and your second commit would change the other line
and rest is yes/no questions - one per commit
