Phase 1. Get started with an example project by copying and running the example.

Goal

The goal of this phase is to get your own working copy of the project and confirm it runs on your machine.

Outcome

At the end of this phase you should have:

  • Your own copy of the repository in GitHub
  • The project cloned down to your machine
  • A working Python environment
  • The example code running successfully
  • Your first commit pushed to your GitHub repository

Steps (With Detailed Instructions)

  1. Start in GitHub to Copy a Template Repository
  2. Configure Repository Settings
  3. Clone the Repository To Your Machine
  4. Open the Project in VS Code (and Install Recommended VS Code Extensions)
  5. Set up Project Python Environment (managed by uv)
  6. Run the Project Code
  7. Git add-commit-push

Success

  • The example runs without errors
  • A new project.log exists in the project root (and is visible in your GitHub repo)
  • Project outputs may be created (for example output/ or artifacts/; see the specific project for details)
