You must run the "turnin" script to submit your assignment.
If you want to give extra information to your grader, you can create a file called README in your current directory. If you have no comments for your grader, then you don't need to include a README file. Not everyone will have a README file, and you will not lose points for not having one.
To turnin your completed homework assignment, first make sure that you can log in to your account on autograder.ucsd.edu. Your account has already been created and associate with your @ucsd.edu email address. To gain access to your new account, go to autograder.ucsd.edu and follow the instructions on the home page to reset your password.
Once you have your autograder.ucsd.edu
account and are ready to turn in, change directory to the directory of the
assignment you wish to turn in.
For example:
Then run the turnin command like so:
This will start the interactive turnin script. First, provide your autograder.ucsd.edu email and password to login:
This will start an interactive turnin process. Follow the prompts to select the assignment you wish to turnin for and acknowledge that you accept the integrity of scholarship agreement.
The turnin program will verify that your assignment passes the ctrl-D test and then archive your code for autograding. Review the contents of the archive to make sure that all of your source code is being collected.
Finally, you can verify that your submission was successful by checking that it's on the website. Log in to autograder.ucsd.edu and click on the button marked "My Grades". Then click on the folder icon next to the appropriate assignment to view your turnin history.
Please don't wait to the last minute to run "turnin" for the first time. You can run "turnin" as many times as you want before the deadline, but you don't ever want to run "turnin" after the deadline. Doing so may clobber your on-time submission resulting in a score of 0.
Here is an example of an entire turnin process:
