How to add a new course content

Since the Stepik course content follows specific rules, it is recommended to create content using the EduTools plugin. Please follow the below steps in order to add new course content:

• Open IntelliJ/GoLand at the learning/katas/go directory and not root of the beam repository.
• Change the Project dropdown to Course.
• Right click where new content is to be created and select from the contextual menu New lesson, section, or task, where appropriate.
• When the EduTools plugin creates new content, it will automatically create folders and files. It is important to note that it will not add the ASF license and should be done manually.
• When creating a new task, the EduTools plugin will create a go.mod in the folder. It's important to delete this as well as change the main folder it creates to cmd. Please see other tasks in the Go SDK katas for examples on the standard structure used throughout the course.
• It's also important to note that when updating content, the EduTools plugin will update files and also remove the ASF license information. When in doubt, the gradle rat task, at the root of the beam repository, can uncover any files with missing licenses.

Updating Stepik

To update a Stepik course, one must be assigned as an instructor.

• Open IntelliJ/GoLand at the learning/katas/go directory and not root of the beam repository.
• Change the Project dropdown to Course.
• Right click Beam Katas - Go (Course Creation) and find Course Creator in the context menu.
• Click “Update course on Stepik”
• The EduTools plugin will update and/or create *-remote-info.yaml files. Commit any of these changed or new files to the beam repository.
