Distribution

Overview

Divekit can distribute your assignment to multiple repositories on GitLab, creating individualized versions for each student or group. This process includes:

• Creating code repositories for each student/group
• Optionally creating test repositories
• Assigning the correct permissions to students
• Individualizing the content based on your configuration

Distribution Guide

Simply use the distribute command to start the distribution process:

divekit distribute

The command will:

1. Ask you to select a distribution if multiple are configured
2. Check if all configured members exist on GitLab
3. Show you a summary of what will be created
4. Create the repositories after your confirmation

Example Flow

$ divekit distribute

? Found several distributions. Please choose one:
[ ] local
[x] supervisor
[ ] student

Checking members:
[√] 2 users available 
[X] 3 users not found:
    - ada
    - charles
    - jobs

Would create 2 repositories with name "ST2-2024-{uuid}" and assign 2 members.

Creating main repositories at #234567:
[██████████████████████████████████████████████████] 100% (2/2)

Creating test repositories at #345678:
[██████████████████████████████████████████████████] 100% (2/2)

Assigning members:
[███████████████████████████                         ] 50% (1/2)

What Happens During Distribution?

1. Divekit creates a new repository for each student/group
2. If configured, test repositories are created separately
3. Repository contents are individualized based on your configuration
4. Students are assigned with appropriate permissions
5. Each repository gets a unique identifier
