Need help related to Eudyptula Task 08
Hi All, I am stuck at Task 08. Problem is I have to send files and changes using send-email utility. As per my understanding, whenever we need to add a new file to git, we use git add command, it creates a patch for it and then we will send it. But when I did it, I got response saying that you should not send new file as a patch, So I want to know how can I send this new file then ? And if I directly attach this file, how will I link my further 2 mails to this original mail ? Regards Rahul

I thought the rules for the challenge said that you were not supposed to ask for help on public mailing lists / irc channels / the like?

hi all, In one of my previous mail I have requested every one not to post hints for the tasks in the challenge. Please let us solve the tasks ourselves. I have just cleared task 5 after many days of trying , and seriously speaking, it has really helped me in learning a few things and cleared some of the doubts. if anyone wants to help , please put a personal mail to the person who has asked for help and not to the group. Thanks
Well, Maybe he is just asking how to "send" the solution and not the actual solution... I don't know what level 8 is, but help asked in terms of how to install/send the answers is not really unethical IMHO.. Just like I was not sure how to send the non base-64 attachment email initially... just a thought.. Manali On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 10:00 PM, Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> wrote:

Initially i was also not sure how to send the mail, and my first 3 -4 mails got rejected . but ok .. i learned from that .. if some one would have told me that do this , and do that , then i would have never known the different options that are available. I know i will also face the same problem when i reach task 8, but i want to solve the problem myself. and i believe sending the solution is also a part of the task. Sudip

I suspect that learning the *process* is as much a part of this challenge as the programming tasks. And you do learn a lot more by figuring out stuff reading the docs, than by copying someone elses solution. Isn't that the whole point of the challenge? Bjørn
