Quickstart

A course is a GitHub repository. There is no submission form and nothing waits for approval. You push a repo, give the school its URL, and the school reads the repo, checks that it is laid out correctly, and either lists it or tells you exactly what is wrong.

1. Make a public repository named course-your-topic, laid out as the next page shows.
2. Register it by pasting the URL into the register box, or with POST /api/courses and a body of { "repo_url": "…" }.
3. The school fetches it at its current commit, validates it, and lists it. That commit is pinned, so later pushes never change a diploma someone has already earned.

Validation runs every time you register, and the reasons for a failure come back in the response. The quickest way to check a course is simply to try to register it. To publish a change, raise the version in course.yaml and register again.
