2024 ASPECT Hackathon
Technical Preparations
- Ensure the software git is installed and you have created a github account
-
Ensure you have forked the ASPECT repository. If needed, read through 'Fork a repository'
https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests
-
Ensure you have a local git clone of the ASPECT repository.
-
Ensure you have installed ASPECT from that cloned repository either by compiling it locally, or inside a docker container, following the instructions on https://aspect-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/install/index.html.
-
if you do not use an integrated development environment (IDE) so far, or you do not know what that means, install Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/), an open source and free code editor. All tutorials and explanations during the hackathon will be done using VS code, we will not be able to help with other IDEs (although you are welcome to use them, if you know what you are doing).
-
Ensure that you have a clear plan for what you want to achieve during the hackathon. What is your goal(s)? What are the individual steps to reach that goal? What are the parts of the code you will have to change? Which parts are unclear to you or you will need help with?
The hackathon is a time to ask for help and make progress quickly. Make sure you have done everything you can do "on your own" before the hackathon to use this time we have together productively.
