GitHub Classroom: A Simple Tool for Teaching Python

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

GitHub Classroom is presented as a way to move from a single shared repo to per-student private repos per assignment, preventing accidental edits to templates or peers’ code and eliminating large multi-gigabyte repos. The workflow enables grading and feedback via pull requests and inline comments, is quick to adopt, but currently lacks LMS integrations (Canvas/Open edX) and automated tests in the demo and can produce noisy notifications.
