NOTE: this is a collaborative document among ALL my classes this semester. That means more people editing. Be mindful that only one person can edit the document at a time.

Only task headings have been provided. You are not expected to know how to do the task given just that description (although in some cases it can be adequately figured out). Instead, if no further information is yet present, ASK FOR DETAILS on the discord.

If something is present but needs polish: spruce it up.

If something is present but is incorrect: please fix it.

This is intended to be an informative, useful document that all can benefit from.

Those with prior experience, please be mindful not to gobble up all the low-hanging fruit from the newcomers.

Once you have ssh'd into the lab, you will need to set up a repository for all of your projects for this semester.

This can be done with the fixrepo command, which will create an src/spring2025/ folder into your home folder. This folder has already been set up as a mercurial repository, and is ready to use.

Inside your spring2025 folder it might be wise to create a new folder(s) for your class/classes. This can be done with the mkdir command

mkdir FOLDERNAME

i.e

mkdir unix

will create a new folder named unix

Be sure to do this in your spring2025/ folder, or you will create the folder in the wrong place, and it will not be tracked!
