There are a few ways you can reach out for help:
Software developers have found many great ways to collaborate on shared code bases. These workflows are different from what you’ve probably used before, but are super helpful once you get used to them. We encourage you to ask and answer as many code-related questions as possible directly on GitHub so you can get used to the these workflows before reaching the final project. The three main ways for you to discuss code on GitHub will be:
When you are blocked on an assignment you can create a new issue using the
help-wanted template, or just the help-wanted label to your project/check-in
issue. Please include screen shots of your debugger,
link(s) to specific line(s) of code,
and a list of things you’ve already tried.
If there is something you would like to review or something you would like to know more about, just ask! It does not need to be a question about any specific assignment or even about code. The more the merrier : )
If you are blocked on a deliverable you can add the help-wanted label to your
issue, this way your classmates and coaches can filter the project board to find
your blocked assignment.
GitHub is great for deeper discussions around the weekly assignments, but not everything in life is work! Hop on over to Discord if you would like to schedule a study call, have questions about what you should be working on, would just like a quick tip, or are just looking to chat about how much you love coding :)
Please use your main class channel as much as possible, and reply in threads to keep the main discussion feed easier to follow.
