Strigo offers a way of including exercises within your students' labs.

While we allow manually configuring exercises within the class template, manually writing exercises may become cumbersome if the number of class templates you maintain increases, or if you often change exercise content.

To that end, Strigo offers a GitHub integration that allows fetching exercises from either public or private GitHub repositories.

This should help you streamline exercise management, and keep your exercises version-controlled so that you can always go back and see how your course materials developed with time.

Note: This feature is currently in Beta, and may not be available to you. If you'd like to use this, please reach out to us.

To fetch exercises:

Your Strigo admin should run through the (very short) process of connecting Strigo to GitHub:

We currently support the following file formats:

Note: We are aware of the fact that some companies use asciidoc, and we're considering accommodating that need.

Simply include correctly formatted files somewhere in your repo. Each file should represent a single exercise.

The files can include images and videos, and specially formatted text (as per the relevant file format you're using). We'll take care of extracting everything.

You can then configure your exercises repository with a .strigo/config.yml. This file must be specially formatted for Strigo to be able to get the relevant exercise files for each class.

Note: You can use a single repository for single or multiple class templates.

Once you have everything ready, simply:

That's it! Your exercises should now be added to the class template.

Note: Any changes to the class exercises will only take effect in future events/newly started enrollments!

Note: We intend on allowing a completely automated process of updating exercises every time a repository is updated (via REST API or polling). For now, you'll have to "re-fetch" the exercises every time you want to update the class template.
