Any way to specify assignment requests into the assignment and not in the repository?

Hello all,

maybe I’m asking something trivial since I’m pretty new with the platform.

I have te following problem: the assignment that I need to give they all have same environment and the same starting code, then an obvious choice is to create a template repository to use as starter in all exercises.

The issue is that since i’m not able to specify into the assignment my requests for the student, I need to create a new repository for each exercise and put inside it my requests for the students.
Is there any way to avoid this ?

Thanks in advance

You could create folders for each assignment inside the template repository that just contain the requests for the student. That would also give the students a place to put their assignment code and not change the starting code for the next assignment.
