I’m starting to prepare a class using GitHub classroom. I am looking into connecting to other tools such as travis-ci.om and mybinder.org. I’d like the students to be able to benefit these tools early in the semester, before they start learning about how they work, setting them up, etc. However, the default setup clones the repository so that links to start binder or to go to the travis-ci build history point to those for my the assignment’s master repo and not the students.
Is there a good way to address this? E.g., could I access a variable that equals the repository name or uril for use within the repo’s README.md?
Or is there someway to specify a script that’s run after just the student repo is created that would do some substituions? (Even better, has someone already written such scripts?)
Thanks,
