Notice: We have released a web based tool for teachers. teachers_pet will remain availble, but we recommend teachers use Classroom for GitHub instead.
WARNING: This documentation may contain unreleased changes. See rubydoc.info/gems/teachers_pet for the version of this README corresponding to the latest release.
Command line tool to help teachers use GitHub in their classrooms.
Each class is an 'organization' on GitHub. This allows the instructors (GitHub organization Owners) to create, push, pull, and administer all repositories. This achieves two goals:
- Instructors can push code starter code to all students
- Instructors can easily browse/pull student code at any time during the assignment to assist in questions, check on progress
Each student is given a team in the organization. The team name is the same as the student's GitHub username.
