drexel-cci

A helper for Drexel College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) students and faculty.

Basic Usage

To get started, simply install the extension and click on the dragon icon in the primary sidebar.

Tip: for courses that require linux, install the extension on a remote host, like an OrbStack VM, Drexel's tux environment, Windows WSL, or another support remote host.

Here is how it might look if you are not running on a supported host:

Pulling Assignments

Assignment instructions and starter code can be pulled by clicking the "pull" button next to the assignement name. If a folder already exist in your workspace, a link to navigate to it is provided.

• You must have a workspace folder open, and that folder must be a git repo (contains a .git directory)
• If an assignement folder already exists locally, the extension will not allow you to pull and overwrite it; if, and only if, you want to start over from scratch on an assignement, you can delete the folder locally, then pull again with the extension

Features

• Verifies you local operating system and environment
• Provides terminal commands to install missing binaries
• Pulls assignement direction and starter code into your local workspace
• Creates debugger configs for each assignment
• Creates recommended extensions for each course
