Github and VSCode#

For this course, you need to create a GitHub account to upload your code. Choose a reasonable username and upload a profile picture. Once you have your GitHub account, you will create a repository named MCE 39659.

using Images, FileIO, ImageView, Plots
load("images/github1.png")

The description will be: “This repository contains the coursework for the Computational Economics with Julia course of the semester/year.” Set it as a Public repository and select “Add a README file” and then “Create repository”.

Once the repository is created, we will now manage it from VSCode.

using Images, FileIO, ImageView, Plots
load("images/github2.png")

Then from VSCode, you will press Ctrl+Alt+P; this will open the command palette, where you should select Git: Clone -> Clone from GitHub -> MCE 39659. Then, choose the local folder where you will work on your assignments.
