How to make your cloned Github repo as your Exercism workspace

Hally — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 01:42:15 +0000

Some people will say that you don't need to do it because your Exercism solutions are already posted on your Exercism profile. However, some still want to push it to their Github repo and I am among them.

Note:

These steps can be applied as well if you just want to simply rename, move, or just going to change your Exercism workspace. In other words, if you just want to configure your Exercism workspace then you just only need to follow Step 3 & Step 4. But in this case, we will stick to the topic. Shall we?

Here are the steps:

Step 1

Create a new Github repository for your Exercism solutions if you haven't created one yet.

Step 2

Once you're done, clone your Github repo to your machine.

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<your-repo-name>.git

Done cloning? Alright, let's go to the 3rd step!

Step 3

This time, we are going to configure our Exercism and this is the most important part.

Using your Command Prompt, go to the root directory where your Exercism CLI is located. Mine is in the..

C:\Users\hally>

Step 4

Okay patience. Now, to configure your Exercism workspace, you need to run this command line

exercism configure -w=<type-your-new-location-with-your-repo-name>

The -w is short for --workspace.
In my situation, I have to move it to another drive.

exercism configure -w="G:/Programming Projects/Github/<cloned-repo-name>"

Step 5

Make sure that you'll see this line on your command prompt:

You have configured the Exercism command-line client:

And make sure that on the Workspace line displays your new directory.

If so, you can now start downloading the exercises and it should be downloaded straight to your cloned repository.

Try to check your Git status:

git status

But after you solved your downloaded challenge and then want to push it now, you can do so.

git add . 
git commit -m “adding a solution”
git push

Our Workflow

Creating an Issue Notifier is our first entry for the Github Actions Hackathon. It notifies the owner of the repository on Slack when someone submits/opens an issue. In addition, this project can help the maintainers to track issues that other contributors submitted. Thus, this creates more interaction for an open-source projects.

When using this project, make sure that you have your Incoming Webhook URL.

It is a nice experience to create an app for your Development Slack Workspace. You can go to this link to start this.

Start by giving your slack app a nice and flaring name and choose which workspace to use it for. Then after you created your first app, go to the Incoming Webhooks Tab:

Activate the Incoming Webhooks. Then at the bottom, click the Add New Webhook to Workspace button and select which channel it will make the posts.

Copy that link and paste it on your repository Secrets environment.

Name that secret SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL

Here is an example of what we created:
