Lambda PM Companion

Download Latest

The latest build is available here for all platforms.

Basic Usage

• The Batch button will git clone or git pull the input repo from any students added into the Working Directory.

  Note: The Working Directory must be an absolute path.
  

• The Save button will save all the input data to save you from having to input it again on subsequent uses of the app.
• All the Forms buttons will open a browser window to their respective airtables.

  Note: Ending a Student's Name in a period "." will cause many issues with accessing the resulting folder or even deleting it on many OSes. Try to avoid doing that for the time being.
  

• The Clone \ Pull button will perform a git clone or git pull in the Working Directory inside a folder using the student's name depending if the folder exists or not.
• The GH button will open a browser window to the student's github in the repository section.
• The PR button will open a browser window to the student's PR on the input repo.
• The Sandbox button will open a browser window for Code Sandbox with the student's git repo (intended for React etc. repos, may not work for others).
• If there is any unexpected behavior you can check the Dev Tools under Dev Tools > Toggle to see more information about any errors.
