CSE 403 project: Project team
Overview
Congratulations! Your proposal has been accepted and you have attracted a team of engineers to implement it. Now is the time to introduce the team and set up the collaborative work environment.
Specifically, set up your GitHub project and provide a top-level README.
Setup
Meet with your assigned project team.
Instructions
1. Create your team’s GitHub repository
Create a public repository for your project on GitHub, make all team members contributors, give all staff members edit access.
Add a bookmark in your Slack channel pointing to your GitHub repository.
2. Add a top-level README.md file
The top-level README should briefly describe the idea and goals of your project and explain the layout of the repository.
3. Read Git resources
Review and follow the Git conflict resolution tutorial. When merge conflicts come up later in the quarter, you will be happy that you did.
4. Submit to Canvas
Complete all tasks and submit the link to your GitHub repository on Canvas.
FAQ
What if we want to commercialize our project idea?
Your group will collectively own its own work. If you think you may want to commercialize your project, you may want to consult early with a legal source. A resource on campus is Comotion. Most often, the main value of the CSE 403 project is to flesh out and test ideas, rather than to produce code that will live until commercialization.
