Day 2 · Block 5
E11 - Template repo + issue-to-agent workflow drill
- Create a new GitHub repository in your account and clone it locally with help from an AI agent.
- Configure the workflow so the agent can commit locally and push to the remote repository.
- Write multiple GitHub issues based on different chapters/aspects of the Genskow and Shapiro style guide.
- Send your coding agent to solve issues step by step and to open pull requests for each solved issue.
- Keep this repo as a reusable template for future programming/research projects (consider the "template" repository type).
