This repository holds the course materials for Cloudera's Services Enablement Boot Camp and FCE's internal boot camp.

If you've received this repo as a ZIP file via email, please follow the instructions that were included to initialize your repo. You can make your GitHub repo Private or Public. It does not matter to the course which option you use.

NOTE: GitHub now lets you upload new files and edit them online. Don't do this. Only use your GitHub repo to publish your lab work. Make sure at all times that the most recent version of your work is on your laptop.

Make your instructors Collaborators on your GitHub repo. This privilege lets them create pull requests on GitHub for your review. If you're unfamiliar with git, consult with an instructor or knowledgable neighbor to help you.

We will use GitHub's Issues feature to track your progress. For each section, we'll ask you to create one Issue and use it to log your progress. We will use GitHub Labels to mark the state of each lab (e.g., started, submitted, evaluated). Finally, we'll use GitHub's Milestones to categorize your lab and challenge work.

In a large class, it may take time for an instructor to assist you. If you have a lab problem, describe in your current Issue what the problem is. Include the error message or stack trace in the Issue dialog, or capture a screen that shows your cluster's condition. You should do this anyway, but we know from experience most of you will just try to work as fast as you can. :-)

Before you start lab work, make the following changes to your GitHub repo settings:

• Add your collaborators under Settings -> Collaborators.
• Enable Issues under Settings -> Options. Click the Features box and check Issues.
• Click the Issues tab and the Milestones button
  • Create two milestones: Labs and Challenges
  • Set the deadlines for Thursday and Friday of the training week, respectively.
• Click the Labels button and change your labels as follows:
  • Leave the bug Issue as is
  • Change duplicate to started
  • Change enhancement to submitted
  • Change help wanted to evaluated
  • Leave the invalid Issue as is
  • Change wontfix to incomplete; set the label color to yellow (#fbca04).
  • Leave the question Issue as is

If you miss these steps, we'll open an Issue on your repo asking you to finish this work. We won't review what you submit for labs until you resolve this.
