Connected-Devices-SP24

This repo contains weekly code samples from the Connected Devices course of Spring 2024.

To get the files onto your own computer:

  • Ensure the Git command line tools are installed on your computer first. Follow the steps here to install.
  • In a command line interface (terminal or powershell):
    • Use cd to change your working directory to the location in which you want to save the files
  • On this GitHub window, click the green <> Code button and copy the HTTPS url
  • Back in the command line interface:
    • git clone <paste HTTPS url> to get a copy of the repository at your current working directory
  • Be sure not to change any files inside your cloned repository! If you want to make your own changes to a file, copy it into a different folder on your own computer first!

Once the files have been downloaded, to get future changes:

  • In a command line interface:
    • cd into the directory folder. This isn't the folder you saved the repository to in the steps above! Make sure it's the repository folder itself!
    • git pull to get the latest changes
    • These steps will only work if you haven't made any changes to the repository files. If you have:
      • git reset --hard will update your files to the latest repository files, replacing any changes you've made to it! Be sure to backup your changes to a different location first if you wish to keep them!
