• The manager first parses the teams and class files to determine which students are on which teams.
• The team definitions are stored locally as "team-defs.json" in the class/ directory.
• Then it iterates over the teams, assigning them unique IDs within the organization and creates teams on GitHub.
• Finally, it creates "team-defs.csv" which stores a team,team-member pair on each line.

<ID1>
<ID2>
...
<IDn>

team:
<IDk>
...
<IDk+x>
team:
<IDm>
...
<IDm+y>

• Teams may be of variable length.
• Teams may contain members of other teams.
• Team members are listed in no particular order within the team file.
• Students not members of any team default to being members of their own individual teams.
