How to hand in your Homework :octocat: :

Steps:

  1. In your newly created Github account search for the invitation from the Social Hackers Academy organization to you join your classes team.
  2. Create a new repository (name it something like sha-html-css) make sure you select the option: initialize with README.
  3. Inside your new repository create a folder called "lesson1". If you have trouble finding out how to create a folder in Github check this Stack Overflow question
  4. Upload your website you created on your computer (step 1 and 2 of the homework) inside this folder, write a description for this “commit” (for example: "homework lesson1").
  5. Your sha-html-css/lesson1 should now contain an index.html and a style.css file (and maybe a folder containing your images)
  6. Open the files in your folder to check if all of this worked.
  7. Now go to the settings of your repository:settings overview
  8. And go to Github Pages select "master" instead of "none"pages overview
  9. Now you can view your homework online at: https://hereyouplaceyourgithubusername/sha-html-css/lesson1/
  10. Please upload a link to your homework in Trello.

Here is an example of how your homework repository should look:
