HW01: Repo Setup due Wed 14 Jan 13:00

Overview

The instructions below make the following assumptions:

• You have experience working with git from the command-line.
• You have already installed VS Code.
• You already have a functional GitHub account.

Setup Repo

• On your computer, open the command line and clone the course repo and remove the remote called origin:

  	git clone https://github.com/tsergeant/db_homework.git
  	cd db_homework
  	git remote remove origin
  

• In GitHub, create your own private, empty repository by visiting https://github.com/new.
  • Name it db_homework
  • Select Private
  • Do NOT add a README, .gitignore, or license (leave it completely empty)
  After the repo is created, add the instructor (terrys@gmail.com) as a collaborator on your repo.

• Back on your computer, setup the remotes so that “origin” points to your github repo and “upstream” points to the course repo:

  	git remote remove origin
  	git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-username>/db_homework.git
  	git branch -M main
  	git push -u origin main
  	git remote add upstream https://github.com/tsergeant/db_homework.git
  

• Verify that the remotes are correct with: git remote -v

  You should see:

  	origin   git@github.com/<your-username>/db_homework.git (fetch)
  	origin   git@github.com/<your-username>/db_homework.git (push)
  	upstream https://github.com/tsergeant/db_homework.git (fetch)
  	upstream https://github.com/tsergeant/db_homework.git (push)
  

• Push your initial copy to your private repository:

  	git push -u origin main
  

• Leave a comment in Canvas on this assignment that provides a link to your github repo.

Install Needed Software

Read the README.md

found in the root directory of your repo to get an understanding of the organization of the structure.

Read docs/setup-guide.md

found in the repo and follow all the instructions for steps 1–5 listed in the document.

Make sure it works

by visiting localhost:5050 in your browser. When you do you should be given a login screen

Learn About Docker

1. Visit: https://chatgpt.com
2. In a new chat prompt, click the + icon to the left of the search box and click the "Study and Learn" tool.
3. Enter the following prompt: “Explain to me the meaning of this file:” and then paste in the contents of the docker-compose.yml file in the root of your repo.
4. You will likely be asked about what you already know. If you've never used docker before and you don't know what it is, then say that. Just give an honest answer to the question.
5. Then continue to interact with it until you have completed a line-by-line explanation of the YAML file and you have a reasonably good understanding of what it accomplishes.
6. In the chat window click on the Share link at the top-right of the screen and then click on the Copy Link icon. Then paste that link in the comment section for this lab day assignment in Canvas.

What To Turn In

• A link to your github repo.
• A link to your Study and Learn session with ChatGPT.
