Combined file tree for projects

Summary

All the project files should be available in a single file tree at least somewhere

Details

Current

  • So, currently, every problem (pset, or lab) is on its own branch.
  • I am assuming that it's that way for ease in automation.
  • And it also can set the problem the student is currently working on as default, which kinda helped me
    image
  • But this debars the user from downloading their submissions as one folder

Proposal

The proposal is to

  • make one more branch and cherry-picking all the commits to that branch to have a unified file structure
  • if that's not reserved for any other thing already, then the main branch can be used for this purpose too
  • so, example:
branch : projects-unified-tree

/                   (branch-root)
└── cs50
    └── problems
        └── 2021
            └── x
                ├── scratch
                ├── hello
                ├── mario
                │   ├── more
                │   ...
                ...

Hm, an interesting idea, thanks. I suspect we wouldn't want to store files redundantly on an additional branch, but we'll give some thought to how to automate checking out all branches somehow!
