Exercise 11: GitHub Username
There are three steps to allow you to create repositories for the projects and some of the exercises:
For 3, I indicated in your feedback for Exercise 11 if this was not accepted yet, then you need to accept the invitation
Invitations are email to the email account for your GitHub Username. I assume in most cases this is your UA email.
You can also view these on your GitHub Organization Page
If you accept the invitation, I will give you full credit for this exercise.
Note that the link (in the title of this this notice) will only work if you:

Similar Action Words
Many action words are similar in meaning, but can vary in specificity or in details that they imply.

| Submit | Send | "Submit" is submission to a process, while "Send" is transferring information |
| Stop | Pause | "Stop" is final, while "Pause" is temporary |

Note that the customer may not realize the difference between these terms, and say one when they mean the other.
Exercise 11: GitHub Username GitHub Classroom is no more. Instead, we are using Classroom 50. The process for allowing you to create a repository has changed and is as follows: 1) Add you to the UACPSC GitHub Organization, and 2) Add you to the roster for the course. To do so, I need your GitHub Username. If you don't provide it, you won't be able to do the projects and some exercises.
The title of this exercise is a link to the form where you can enter your GitHub Username.
Once I add you to the roster, you will receive an invitation to join the UACPSC GitHub Organization. You will need to join in order to create repositories. Note that this differs from the GitHub Classroom process of the past.
