Submit a Level

Problem to Solve

I want to submit a repo (level or superboss) of completed work for course credit.

Recipe 1: Submitting When Complete

  1. Do one final commit-and-push of the repo, following the recipe Commit and Push Changes to GitHub.

  2. Go to GitHub (probably in a different browser tab).

  3. Navigate to the main page of your fork of the repo. You can click on the "Repositories" tab at the top of the page while in our GitHub org.

    • Near the top of that page, just above the list of files, you should see a message that says something like "This branch is X commits ahead of UNCG-PHY-351-S25:main.

  4. Click on the "Contribute" button to the right of that message.

    • A dialog box should appear.

  5. Click the big green button "Open pull request" button. That's your "submit" button!

    • That takes you to a form that gives you a chance to change the title of your pull request (submission) and add a message.

  6. Change the title to "Done and submitting" (or whatever is appropriate).

  7. Add a comment in the "Leave a comment" box if there's anything else you think I should know when I look at your submission.

    • If there's something in particular you'd like feedback on, this is a good place to say so.

  8. Click the green "Create pull request" button at the bottom.

  9. Look for the green check by "This branch has no conflicts with the base branch". If you don't see it, let Prof. Beatty know ASAP. We'll figure it out.

That's it, you've submitted!

If you realize you've submitted in error, you can "un-submit" by scrolling to the bottom of that page — down below "This branch has no conflicts with the base branch" — and clicking the "Close pull request" button. - Before doing so, please put a note in the "Add a comment" section right above it saying what's going on, just to avoid confusion. Thanks.

Recipe 2: Resubmitting

If I kick your initial submission back for revision and you've then fixed whatever the problem was, you can resubmit by following the same steps as above. However,

  • Please use a title like "Resubmitting fixed version".
  • Add a comment in the "Leave a comment" box explaining what you fixed, or anything else that might help me not be confused. Thanks.
