Using git and GitHub

Students give this a try to learn how git works. Git is a version control system that allows us to share code. https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1

Workflow

1. Clone the project
2. Create a development branch for the feature
3. Commit and push up to the development branch
4. Create a pull request to have the branch merged into the master when feature is complete.

Setting up Development Environment

We are using Java to develop the robot program. You need to install Java 8 JDK, not Java 9, eclipse for java developers, and the WPILIB plugins for eclipse. See the following site for detailed instructions. https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/currentCS/m/java/l/599681-installing-eclipse-c-java

You will also need to install the libraries and add them into eclipse for the NavX - MXP (our imu, ahrs, gyro, compass, etc). You can find instructions here: https://www.pdocs.kauailabs.com/navx-mxp/software/roborio-libraries/java/
