Part 3: Create a GitLab account


For assignment development and submission we will be using a version control system called git, and a UCSD run Git server running, GitLab, open source software. You will need an account.

Go to https://git.ucsd.edu and create an account using your ACMS login credentials.

Please make sure that you do this so that we can properly set up your repository.

Part 4: Find a (potential) partner


As you now know, you will be working with a partner on the programming assignments for this course. Here’s how this will work:

So find someone who you think you want to work with. Act fast because you’ll need your partner’s information to proceed to part 5.

Part 5: Submit your GitLab and partner information


Finally, just one more form to complete. This one asks for your ACMS login info and you partner’s name and PID, so make sure you know this information before proceeding.

Once you have completed this survey, you are done with Assignment 0. Stay tuned for Assignment 1, which will be posted by next Tuesday (1/11/16).
