+
+* Assignment 1
+
+/... to shave a yak/
+
+* Goal
+
+Submit coursework in a way that:
+
+1. Has something to do with software development practice
+2. Makes it possible to automate marking
+   
+* Git...
+
+- is a "distributed version control system"
+- started as a tool for coordinating the Linux kernel development
+- keeps your files /and their change history/
+- has a /terrible/ user interface but is ubiquitous
+
+* Git repositories
+
+A /repository/ is a collection of /changes/ to files.
+
+You create a repository /on your computer/.
+
+You keep a copy of the repository on a hosting service.
+
+A popular hosting service is [[https://github.com/][Github]] (Microsoft).
+
+For this course, will use the department's service,
+https://gitlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/
+
+* Push, pull and clone
+
+The word for "making a copy of a repository" is "clone".
+
+To send changes from your computer to a remote repository, you "push"
+them.
+
+To get changes from a remote repository to your computer, you "pull"
+them.
+
+* More yak shaving
+
+** Command line terminals
+
+- Prompt, command, output
+- Sort of an antique chatbot that doesn't even bother to try to speak
+  English!
+- Somewhat cryptic commands...
+
+* Command line basics
+
+- pwd :: where am I? (what directory)
+- hostname :: where am I? (which computer)
+- ls :: list files
+- cd :: change directory
+- mkdir :: make directory
+- cat :: show what is in a file
+- git :: the git tool
+- ssh :: get a terminal on a different computer
+
+* Yet more yak shaving
+
+** Text editors
+
+- pico / nano (easy, terminal)
+- *mousepad*, gedit, kate (easy, graphical)
+- emacs, vi / vim (not easy)
+- Notepad (on Windows)
+- TextEdit (on MacOS)
+- Many more, pluma, xed, Visual Studio Code, Atom, Pulsar, Spyder, Sublime Text,
+  Notepad++, CudaText, Textadept...
+
+* Putting it together
+
+- make a directory :: =mkdir cs101-coursework=
+- change to it :: =cd cs101-coursework=
+- make it a git repo :: =git init .=
+- create / edit a file :: =$EDITOR assignment-1.txt=
+- add that file to git :: =git add assignment-1.txt=
+- commit the changes :: =git commit -m "first assignment"=
+
+Now you have a git repository with one file in it on your computer.
+
+* Sharing your repository (1)
+
+Go to https://gitlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/
+
+   /web browser interlude/
+
+1. Create a repository
+2. Create an access token (note it down, you will need it)    
+3. Share it with me (xgb21195) as "reviewer"
+
+* Sharing your repository (2)
+
+Join the hosted repository to your local one
+
+#+begin_src
+git remote add gitlab
+     https://oauth2:XXXX@gitlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/...
+#+end_src
+
+Push your work to the hosted repository
+
+#+begin_src
+git push -u gitlab
+#+end_src
+
+* Sharing your repository (3)
+
+Now you have a git repository with a file in it, and a copy on the CIS
+gitlab server.
+
+But I still do not know where it is! So I wrote a little program for
+you to tell me. Run the program,
+
+=/home/xgb21195/bin/cs101 https://gitlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/...=
+
+* Finished yak shaving!
+
+* A classic psychotherapist chatbot
+
+A clone of Joseph Weizenbaum's ELIZA chatbot from the late 1960s
+
+1. Open =emacs=
+2. Type =M-x doctor=
+
+(=M-x= means "meta-x". The "meta" key is ESC or Alt)
+
+You can save a session to a file with =C-x C-s=, control-x and then
+control-s. Using this file for assignment 1 will get top marks.
