Using the exercise files

- [Instructor] The exercise files for this course are stored on GitHub. There are branches for both the start and end states of each video where we work on code. You can view a list of all the branches here in GitHub from the branch dropdown. For example, if you want to browse the start state for video 02_01, Create a Message, you can change to the 02_01b branch here where B stands for begin. The ending state of the Create a Message video is in the 02-01e branch. The main branch of the repository holds the completed project code. This project is runnable on any branch. The root repository may be forked at will, allowing you to experiment, practice, and commit any portion of these lessons as you wish. The lessons are presented from a fork of the root repository and you can make your own fork through the GitHub user interface. To work with this Java project, there are multiple integrated development environments that you can choose. By cloning or downloading the project files at your command line, you will be prepared to open the project in any IDE that you wish. Your IDE likely has a specific way to clone a git repository from within the user interface and this will vary by environment and also by your preferred GitHub authentication mechanism. You can also run a clone from the command line. Once you have the project files on your local development system, you can proceed to open, compile, and run the Maven-based Spring Boot project in your IDE. Again, these exact steps will vary depending on your IDE. The readme file in the root directory of the GitHub repository gives instructions for procedures in IntelliJ. To navigate between video exercise files in your local system, use the Git Checkout command either in your command line terminal or in your IDE command line. For example, using the IntelliJ command line prompt to switch your view to the project files for the start of video 02_01, Create a Message, looks like this, git checkout 02_01b.
