Homework Submission

Please, follow next steps in order to publish your homework for personal review:

1. Before you start, make sure you are in the main branch. Go to VCS > Git > Branches... > Remote Branches: origin/main and select checkout.
2. Update your local master copy with latest changes via VCS > Update Project menu option. Select Merge incoming changes into the current branch option.
3. Create a branch where isolated development will occur by VCS > Git > Branches... > + New Branch and naming it after your name and assignment, e.g. st-john-doe-lesson-2-level-3. It can be viewed as your homework solution draft.
4. Stage files to be uploaded by right clicking on the single file or package and Git > + Add. After that your file(s) name should turn green from red. This step can be ignored in case it is staged automatically and file(s) are green already.
5. Save your project state by comitting source code via VCS > Commit. Select all files to be uploaded and write a meaningful changes description.
6. Press Commit and Push button and confirm it afterwards.
7. Create pull request by selecting your branch name, e.g. st-john-doe-lesson-2-level-3, in compare: dropdown. Additionally, enable auto merge after PR is created.
8. In case solution is accepted, there is nothing you need to do, it will be merged into main branch by your instructor. Otherwise, consider review comments, fix your code and go to step 4.
