CPSC 480-020 Software Engineering (SE) Fall 2025

The utility textmatch finds the number of times a regular expression occurs in a file. The repository for this exercise is a GitHub Classroom Group Repository. That means there is one repo per team. Have one person create the Team in GitHub Classroom; the rest can join the team afterwards.

The last person who worked on it was an intern from another university. They entered the build commands in a shell every time they built the program. Of course, you and your team know better, so your team will implement the Makefile for this project.

Every team member must do one of the following to receive credit:

• Make commits to the Makefile
• If you do not have a computer and cannot commit during the team meeting time, then hand write the Makefile on paper and upload to Brightspace by the end of class.

Restrictions:

• Add to the Makefile step-by-step following the general procedure used in the Build Files example
• Do not change any other file
• Do not use any of the automatic variables until after all the base functionality is complete
• The number of commits per team member (for those making commits) must be within 1 of the other team members, i.e., as equal a number of commits as possible
• An individual team member cannot have two commits in a row
• No commits can be made after class ends

As your team members make commits, you will have to update your working copy. Use the command:

Note that your team does not share a GitHub Codespace. All of them are different. You will not see other team members changes until you pull.
