Basic Usage

To get started, simply install the extension and click on the dragon icon in the primary sidebar.

Tip: for courses that require linux, install the extension on a remote host, like an OrbStack VM, Drexel's tux environment, Windows WSL, or another support remote host.

Here is how it might look if you are not running on a supported host:

Unsupported Host

Pulling Assignments

Assignment instructions and starter code can be pulled by clicking the "pull" button next to the assignement name. If a folder already exist in your workspace, a link to navigate to it is provided.

Pull Assignement

  • You must have a workspace folder open, and that folder must be a git repo (contains a .git directory)
  • If an assignement folder already exists locally, the extension will not allow you to pull and overwrite it; if, and only if, you want to start over from scratch on an assignement, you can delete the folder locally, then pull again with the extension

Features

  • Verifies you local operating system and environment
  • Provides terminal commands to install missing binaries
  • Pulls assignement direction and starter code into your local workspace
  • Creates debugger configs for each assignment
  • Creates recommended extensions for each course
