Setup

Caution

Please do not create a pull request on the main project or fork it! Your code won't be private!

The application exercise is configured for Eclipse, IntelliJ and VS Code IDEs, but you are free to use other development environments (or none at all).
Before you can start programming, you need to prepare the application exercise properly. There are three ways to do this:

GitHub template

Tip

GitHub templates are the quickest way to set up your project.

Steps Image
  • To do this, click Use this template and then click Create a new repository.
Use this template
  • Make sure that the Owner is your user name, not a group or organisation.
  • You can choose any Repository name and Description.
  • Select the Private option to create a private repository.
Create new repository
  • Once you have created the private repository, you need to give us access to it.
  • To do this, click on Settings, then on Collaborators, and under Manage access, select the Add people button.
  • Enter the provided email addresses in the input field.
Access
  • In your repository, go back to Code and click the green Code button.
  • The easiest way to download the code is via HTTPS.
  • To do this, select HTTPS and click the copy icon.
 Git clone

Once you have prepared your project, there are a few steps you need to take in Git. If you have never used Git before, you will need to install it first.

Then open a console (e.g. cmd) that supports Git. If you are unsure, run git --version. Then run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/[GitHub-Benutzername]/[Repository-Name].git # Insert the link from the HTTPS here
cd [Repository-Name] # Here is the name of your repository, e.g. AEB-application-exercise
git checkout -b dev # Swaps to the branch dev

Git clone / import

Important

This option is more suitable for experts, as you will need to be familiar with Git and the source host.

Also you can of course clone the application exercise and push or import it into your own private repository. Your code does not need to be hosted on GitHub. You are free to use other providers. You just need to make sure that we have access to your code and that it is private.

Please work in a branch called dev to compare your changes better.

ZIP export

Steps Image
  • If you don't want to create a GitHub account, you can download the application exercise as a ZIP file from GitHub.
  • To do this, click on Code and then on Download ZIP.
  • You can then work on the exercise without Git or versioning.
    However, we recommend that you use Git versioning, at least locally.
