Load the IncrediCoders Files - IncrediCoders/Python1 GitHub Wiki

All the files for IncrediCoders are on GitHub. It's free, and you do not need a GitHub account in order to download them. There are only two steps to get your IncrediCoders files into Visual Studio Code:

  1. Download the IncrediCoders Files
  2. Open the IncrediCoders Files in VSC

1. Download the IncrediCoders Files

  1. Head to the main page of the Python1 repository.
  2. Locate the green Code button (in the upper right) and click it. A drop down will appear. Click the Download ZIP option to download it. It will likely be downloaded into a default systems folder, such as your Downloads folder.
  3. Once the file has been downloaded, extract it using your operating system's software. The name of the folder will be Python1-IncrediCoders.

To Open a Zipped File

You'll open the zipped file differently, depending on your operating system.

For Microsoft Windows computers:

  1. Open File Explorer, and find the file.
  2. Right-click the zipped file, and either click Extract Files or Open With File Explorer (and then copy and paste the contents into a new folder).

For Apple Mac computers:

  1. Find the file in the Mac Finder window.
  2. Double click on the zipped file. It creates the new folder in the same directory.

For Linux computers:

  1. When you download the ZIP file, Linux asks you what application you want to use. You can use the default Archive Manager.
  2. Once the Archive Manager opens, click the Extract button in the upper left.

You are now ready to open the files in Visual Studio Code (VSC).

2. Opening the IncrediCoders Files in VSC

  1. Open up VSC. On the top left corner, select the File tab. A drop-down menu will appear. Click the Open Folder... option.

  2. A file explorer window will appear. Navigate to the Python1-master folder and click Select Folder.

Now, all the files should appear in VSC's Explorer pane.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the folder into VSC (from a file explorer browser).
