Getting started: working in a pair

If you are working in a pair, you will need to request a repository for your pair. Here are steps necessary for students with CNET IDs A and B to form a pair for pa2 and get set up to use their new repository.

  1. Register a group: student A should run the command:

chisubmit student assignment register pa2 --partner B

and student B should run the command:

chisubmit student assignment register pa2 --partner A

  1. Wait for email from GitLab to your UChicago address saying that the group repository is ready. Take into account that your repository won’t be created until you have each run the above commands. Please note that the repository won’t be created immediately; however, if you both register and do not get an e-mail from GitLab (or don’t see the pair repository on GitLab) after an hour, please ask for help on Ed Discussion.

  2. Setup repositories: Both student A and B should run this:

    cs-setup-script cmsc12200-win-21

    Similar to when you set up your individual repository, the script will present you with a list of repositories you have access to. This list should now include your pair repository. Just choose that repository from the list. Work only in this group repository (the script will create a directory within your home directory corresponding to the shared repository) for this assignment.

See the file pa2/README.txt for a description of the files we have provided for this assignment.
