This is a template repository for PSYC 81.09 Assignment 3: Binary converter. All of the assignment instruction are in the Jupyter (.ipynb) notebook. After accepting the assignment, open (click) the binary_converter.ipynb notebook and then click on the blue "Open in Colab" button at the top. A new tab or window should open in your browser, displaying the notebook in Google Colaboratory.
In order to submit your assignment you'll first need to save an editable copy of your notebook. Click File > Save a copy in Drive and then save your copy of the notebook as binary_converter.ipynb (i.e., remove the "Copy of" text that gets automatically appended to the beginning of the filename).
The second setup task is to ensure that Colaboratory has access to your private repositories on GitHub. (By default, your assignment repositories will be accessible only to you and the course instructor.) To give Colaboratory access to your private repositories:
- Navigate to http://colab.research.google.com/github
- Make sure the "Include Private Repos" checkbox is checked
- In the popup window, sign into your GitHub account and authorize Colab to read private files
You should do your work on the assignment in the copied notebook (i.e., the copied notebook that you have the ability to save and edit). Submitting the assignment entails syncing your copy of the notebook with your GitHub repository (in this case, ContextLab/binary-converter-<username>, with <username> replaced with your GitHub username). From within Colaboratory, open your notebook and click File > Save a copy in GitHub. Select ContextLab/binary-converter-<username> from the Repository drop-down menu, and type 'binary_converter.ipynb' into the File path text box. Optionally, you may also enter a description into the "Commit message" text box (or you can just leave the default message). Make sure that the "Include a link to Colaboratory" box is checked, and press "OK". A new tab or window should open up, displaying your submitted notebook from within your GitHub repository.
