+# Faculty instructions for setting up the repository <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+- [Overall instructions](#overall-instructions)
+- [Set up various apps](#set-up-various-apps)
+  - [GitKraken](#gitkraken)
+
+Each semester we need to do a certain amount of setup for that
+semester's copy of this repository. Below are the instructions
+for setting that up.
+
+## Overall instructions
+
+Before you can really do anything you'll need to
+
+- [ ] Create a GitHub organization for this semester, e.g., [UMM-CSci-3601-S22](https://github.com/UMM-CSci-3601-S22)
+  - [ ] You probably want to add your TAs as owners on that org.
+  - [ ] It's often helpful to create a semester specific logo
+        for the organization, especially if you're part of
+        numerous organizations. It's probably also a good example
+        to set for the students.
+  - [ ] Make sure we've added every student in the current semester
+        to that semester's organization so they'll have
+        permission to push to this repo.
+- [ ] Create a GitHub Classroom for this semester
+- [ ] Create a new assignment using this repo as the template
+  - [ ] We usually make students admins on their repos.
+  - [ ] It's probably useful to include the Feedback branch
+  - [ ] You probably want to limit the assignment to a single team.
+  - [ ] We usually use "Everyone" as the name for the set of
+        teams; GitHub Classroom will then call the shared
+        repository `intro-to-git-everyone`, which is nice.
+  - [ ] Post the invite link to the GitHub Classroom assignment on the LMS (e.g., Canvas)
+
+Now it's useful to "force" the creation of the repository in
+this semester's organization/classroom. You can just follow
+the "student" invite link, and that will create that semester's
+copy of the repository.
+
+Now make a few changes to the _classroom copy_ of the repository:
+
+- [ ] Fix the URLs in the badges below so they point to that semester's
+    repository instead of the "starter" repo.
+- [ ] [Turn off branch protection](FACULTY_BRANCH_PROTECTION_SETTINGS.md)
+    so that students can `push`.
+- [ ] Remove the note and the broken badge at the top of the
+      README _in the classroom copy_.
+  - We don't want to remove those from the starter copy since we
+    need to be reminded of these rules each semester.
+
+## Set up various apps
+
+As well as setting up the classroom and the initial repository,
+we need to set up various apps that will need access to this
+organization.
+
+### GitKraken
+
+We need to enable GitKraken on the new, semester specific organization.
+To do this you _have_ to be an admin on the
+organization for this semester; that will be true "for free"
+if you're the person that created the organization above.
+
+- [ ] Go to <https://github.com/settings/connections/applications/>
+- [ ] Click on "GitKraken"
+- [ ] Grant access to the new semester's organization in the list of
+      organizations on that page
