collect-homework 0.2.0

Easily manage homework submissions

manage your student's homework

Description

assuming you have asked your students to create a repo on github to submit their homework, this script will help you efficiently clone/pull/merge all the repos in a folder, and display a summary of the status of all the repos

Installation

pip install collect-homework

Initial setup

1. create a folder where you want to clone all the repos
2. create a file named 00.ids in the folder
   this file should contain the github ids of all the students, one id per line
3. at that point

   collect-homework clone
   

   will clone all the repos in the folder
4. in order to pull all the repos in the folder

   collect-homework pull
   

5. you get the gist of it; type

    collect-homework help
   

   to see all the available commands
6. of particular interest is the

   collect-homework summary
   

   command, which will display a one-line summary of all repos in the folder
7. finally you can focus on one or several students by typing e.g. (this makes sense for most commands)

   collect-homework -s "JohnDoe JaneMartin" pull
   

handling repo names

assuming you run this command in a folder e.g. /Users/johndoe/python-homework:

• then by default all the students are expected to have a repo named python-homework
• if this does not match your setup, you can specify the repo name in the 00.reponame file
  this one-line file should contain the name of all the repos, e.g. python-homework-2024
• and if a student does not comply with that name, you can specify the repo name in the 00.ids file by writing student/the-repo instead of just student
  (you can even put the complete github url instead if that's more convenient for you)
