ADDITION OF A REPOSITORY PROCEDURE

INTRODUCTION

This document is a guide on how to add your own repository to store your projects and exercises. This guide assumes that you have understood the files structures of the repository public. It will only address the settings part of this task. The addition of projects will be treated first as it does not require the knowledge of docker.

However being familiar with docker is mandatory for adding your own exercises with your tests.

PREQUISITES

-A github account where your exercises repository will be stored https://github.com/.

-A dockerHub account https://hub.docker.com/.

I- SETUP OF YOUR GUTHUB REPOSITORY THRU A FORK

Instead of starting with an empty repository, for the very first time we recommend forking the official public. repository.

The advantages of this way:

This will give you a base to work on regarding the file architecture of an exercise repository with examples.

You will also be able to customize already existing exercises to your needs.

With just a quick modification the repo will be ready to be linked.

1. Create your own public repository

Once logged into your github account, click on the creation of new repository: It is the button New (the button is on the top corner right side)

2. Git clone your repository and prepare an example for the folder structure for projects

• Create a folder called subjects
• Inside this folder create a folder called what you wish (example: firstproject)
• Inside the folder firstproject create a README.md file which you will use as the subject content of your first project
• After the subject content README.md is created, create a folder audit inside the firstproject directory
• Inside the audit folder create a README.md that respect the audit type of file. We advise you to take an example such as the ascii-art audit README.md file. Here is the link to the raw file.
• Once all those files are done, git push them to your new repository

3. Publish the repository on github pages

• Go to the settings tab of your projects repository.
• On the option page find the GitHub Pages section.
• Please see below the settings to follow.
• Note that the branch may be called main instead of master. (Please not that it might take up to 10 mins for your page to be pusblished)

• You will notice that a message says `Your site is published at https://yourgithublogin.github.io/nameofyourrepo

**4. The addition of a custom project

Take note of the paths of a project subject you added and add them to the attributes

Example: If user Frenchris, added an exercise to the nameofyourrepo called firstproject This is the path where the README.md subject would be. https://frenchris.github.io/nameofyourrepo/subjects/firstproject/

Note that you do not keep the README.md at the end of the path but you do keep the /

This path should be added to the attribute “subject” of type string in the object attribute of the new exercise.

Additionally the README.md audit path would be. https://frenchris.github.io/nameofyourrepo/subjects/firstproject/audit/

This path should be added to the attribute “subject” of type string in the object attribute of the new exercise.

• Once both those path are noted, create your project on your server.

• Add the regular attributes (groupMin, groupMax, language, exerciseType)

• Add the optional attributes to test if your wish (auditsRatio, auditsRequired) both set to 1

• And add the audit and subject attributes (of type string) with the previously noted paths

Once the attributes are filled.

• Create a module, called Div-custom for example. Add its standard attributes.
• Add firstproject as a child to Div-custom.

Note: If you do not wish students from other events to be selected for matches in this new event. in the children attributes of the module,

• Add matchWhere as a FUNCTION

• Set its value to USERINEVENT This attribute will isole the event during matches to the user of the event.

• Add this Div-custom as a child in your campus object

• Go to event, and launch the event yourcampus/Div-custom

• Add yourself and other testing accounts to the newly launched event.

• Test your subject by creating a group and launching an audit.
  If the paths are correctly inputed and your repository is correctly publicly published on gitHub pages, you will see your subject and your audit in the platform.

II- SETUP OF YOUR DOCKER REPOSITORY

• 1. Sign in your docker hub account the 01 public repository.
• 2. In your account, go your settings and link your github account.
• 3. Create a repository named “test” and make sure that your github account is linked. If you see this image,

It means your github account is correctly linked.

• 4. In the Builds tab configure the automated build settings as below (for the go tests).

• 5. Once the build is complete (it can take 5 to 15 mins). Go back to the attributes of the exercise, Add the attribute testImage (type string) Fill it with the name of the repository, In this example: frenchris/test
• 6. Once your exercise has both the attributes completed correctly, the exercise is viable and can be tested on the server which was selected for its addition.
• 7. As a reminder to test the exercise it is suggested to follow these steps: a. Create a custom Quest-test object b. Adding the new exercise object as a child to the newly created Quest-test object c. Create a Piscine-test object d. Adding the new Quest-test as a child to the newly created Piscine-test object e. Adding the Piscine-test to the campus object as first child f. Go to the event page and launch the newly created Piscine-test. (You may need to refresh the page 2-3 times before the campus/Piscine-test option appears) g. Once the event is launched, use the event page to add yourself as a student in the launched event Piscine-test h. You can now try the exercise. If everything is well set, the subject should be loaded and, when you submit a correct solution, the exercise should pass.
