Assignment: Project Setup

This assignment will get you set up and rolling with a basic project. By the end, you will have a GitHub repo that contains a working application.

Getting Started

The objectives for this assignment are simple to state:

  • Create a GitHub repository for your project, which includes a license

  • Make an initial commit that includes a basic, working “Hello, world!” level project

  • Start working on your first user story

There are some situation-specific tips below. If you have questions about getting started on your project that are not covered here, talk to your mentor or the instructor.

Pre-existing Projects

If you’ve already started a project, make sure it’s in GitHub. Once you check that one off, take the extra step of creating a solid README file that gives a high-level overview of your project so that visitors to your profile can learn about it.

Submitting Your Work

Once you have finished both wireframe and user story components, commit and push your changes to your liftoff-assignments repository, and submit the assignment on Canvas by submitting the URL to your outline. Your mentor will provide feedback after the assignment deadline.
