CPSC 480-020 Software Engineering (SE) Fall 2025

Week 6 Class 12 Thu Oct 02 Posted: Oct 02

Before Class

If you haven't already created the GitHub Classroom repository for "Build Files" you should do so before class. Check Brightspace for the GitHub Classroom Build Files Invitation Link. You can also set up a GitHub Codespace for the project, as it takes some time to start up initially and when restarting.

Announcements

  There is a GitHub Classroom Invitation Link in Brightspace for this exercise. The name is "Build Files".

  I suggest you use GitHub Codespaces as all necessary packages are installed.
