Assignment for BIOL 812

Complete the three tasks below to finish your assignment (due Feb 7).

Some useful resources:

1 - Create a Github Pages website

Github Pages is a super-neat service from Github where they will host static websites (no database or server processes running in the background) for free!

Create a Github pages website somewhere on your Github account. If you don't have a Github account, you'll need to create one.

Hint: Creating an index.md Markdown file in a new repository and pushing it to Github is a great place to start.

2 - Answer the following questions somewhere on your website

  1. When should you use Git for a project?

  2. What kind of files/info should be saved in a Git repository? What types of files/info should not be included in a Git repo?

  3. What are the commands to undo a commit?

  4. One of your repositories is in a "detached HEAD" state. How do you fix this?

  5. Your boss has no idea what Git is or why you are using it. Explain the pros / cons of using Git for your research project. Explain the pros / cons of hosting your project in a public (or private) repository on Github/Bitbucket/Gitlab/etc.

3 - Submit a pull request

Add a link to this webpage by submitting a pull request to this repository (https://github.com/jstaf/biol812-assignment).

The links should have your name and link to your assignment site. Example:
