Getting the rest of the instructions

The rest of the instructions are in your repository. Here's how you should get them in the Teaching Labs.

Open up a terminal and clone your repo:

    git clone https://markus.teach.cs.toronto.edu/git/csc207-2018-01/[YOUR_REPO]

You can move the repository folder around. For example, you may want to stash it in a subfolder.

Inside the repo, you should see folders for Lab3 and assignment2, plus a couple of extra files. The assignment2 contains the starter code for Assignment 2. It also contains the A2 handout, in a file called a2.shtml. Open it in your favourite browser and follow the instructions.

If you get stuck, please feel free to ask for help on the discussion boards and/or attend office hours.
