In first step we learned a little bit about how a Git code repository operates. For this step, we are going to expand this concept a little and study some crucial definitions to know more about the software world: Open Source/Free Software Licenses.
When choosing how to use code that someone else has written, we face a small barrier to what we are allowed to do with that code. Some modalities, for example, do not allow using a free code without leaving your code free as well.
To do this, we are going to implement a small university average calculator in a repository, with the aim of making it open source.
-
- Create an empty repository on your Github;
-
- Implement an average calculator according to this specification;
-
- Make a pull request with:
- a) the code you have implemented;
- b) an open source license or a free source license, justifying why you chose that license.
-
- Put your name and your repo on the list of people who completed step 2 through a commit in this repository (you need to have forked for this, as in step 1);
-
- Make a pull request for us to merge this repository with your forked repository changes.
- Familiarity with Github;
- Familiarity with the notion of
add,push,commitandpull request; - Understanding how the open source world works;
- Understanding how the most common software licenses work.
