The Repo Automations is mostly an invisible and simple process that tries to stay out of the way. It creates git repositories for students, graders and instructors.
This service is a good option for previous users of phoenixforge
. Git repositories are automatically created from course repository data with optional ability for you to override memberships, repository names, permissions, and more.
To get started, write techstaff@cs.uchicago.edu, and let us know which course you would like to automate.
For a full introduction, and for current users, see Gitlab Roster Usage.
