Step 3: Passwordless github access
Set up github access keys to permit access to github.. Run the following commands to set up passwordless access to github. Also see the GIF below.
$ cd ~/.ssh
$ ssh-keygen # Generates SSH keys (creates two files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub)
# By default id_rsa is used for authenticating with github.
# Copy id_rsa.pub to github
$ chmod 600 id_rsa
$ ssh -T git@github.com
# If things went correct.
Hi..... You've successfully authenticated..

Lab 0
The purpose of lab 0 is to illustrate the flow of programming assignments/homeworks.
The steps below assume the following.
- Assignment Name: lab-0
- Github id: course-test
Replace “course-test” with your github id in the steps below.
Step 1: Create a your repository
You will be provided an assignment-specific starter code. Use this link to clone and create a private repository (visible to you and TA only) for you to work with.
Once you create the repository you will have a respository with the following name https://github.com/CMPT-7ARCH-SFU/[Assignment]-[GithubID]. For lab-0 and github id course-test the repository will be:
git@github.com:CMPT-7ARCH-SFU/lab-0-course-test.git
Step 2: Clone your specific repository
WARNING: Replace course-test with your username
$ git config --global user.email "course-test@sfu.ca"
$ git config --global user.name "Course Test"
$ GIT_USER="course-test" ; git clone git@github.com:CMPT-7ARCH-SFU/lab-0-$GIT_USER
Step 3: Check initial build
$ cd lab-0-course-test
$ ls
Step 4: Complete assignment tasks
Open the file fruit.txt and add two fruits of your choice. For example,
$ echo "blueberry" >> fruit.txt
$ echo "mango" >> fruit.txt
$ git add fruit.txt
Step 5: Commit repository
Commit and push your changes to github.
$ git commit -am "Added fruits"
$ git push
Step 6: Check github.com
Go to your repository on github.com and check that the file fruit.txt has the contents you expect.
