To add a new feature to palpatine which is an awesome static site generator written in C++ by Batuhan, I started by filing an issue. While I worked on his repo for adding this new feature, he worked on mine to add the same feature. Here are the detailed instructions for this week's lab. Batuhan also worked on my repo for adding the –config feature for my static site generator, rwar, written in Python. These are awesome repos to check out!

In this lab we were asked to create the fork and clone somebody else project from the release 0.1 list. After forking we need to create the new branches on the repo which i have created here to work on and add more functionality to it. We need to convert the SSG project in such so that it can now take both .txt files and .md files type and parses the data out of md file and convert it into html page.

For Lab 4, Maxim implemented the config support for my repo.

This week I've been working on another student repo. I had to make a feature that will allow user to specify all of their SSG options in a JSON formatted configuration file instead of having to pass them all as command line arguments every time.

Project Repo: ap21-ssg

I have created this issue 6 on the Arryell Parris project.

README.md file missing - I was working on the 'test' branch of my repos and did not switch back to the 'main' branch in order to push the updated README.md file there. It has now been pushed to the 'main' branch though it is not yet fully completed.

I have got the chance to review Arryell Paris code. I know him personally, but this was the first time we actually shared the code to review each other's work. With the help of this lab, it allows me to find the mistakes in his work and let me go throw my mistakes.
