Need help related to Eudyptula Task 08

[Rahul Garg]

Hi All,

I am stuck at Task 08. Problem is I have to send files and changes
using send-email utility.  As per my understanding, whenever we need
to add a new file to git, we use git add command, it creates a patch
for it and then we will send it.

But when I did it, I got response saying that you should not send new
file as a patch, So I want to know how can I send this new file then ?
And if I directly attach this file, how will I link my further 2 mails
to this original mail ?

Regards
Rahul

I thought the rules for the challenge said that you were not supposed to
ask for help on public mailing lists / irc channels / the like?

hi all,
In one of my previous mail I have requested every one not to post hints for
the tasks in the challenge. Please let us solve the tasks ourselves. I have
just cleared task 5 after many days of trying , and seriously speaking, it
has really helped me in learning a few things and cleared some of the
doubts.
if anyone wants to help , please put a personal mail to the person who has
asked for help and not to the group.

Thanks

Well, Maybe he is just asking how to "send" the solution and not the
actual solution... I don't know what level 8 is, but help asked in
terms of how to install/send the answers is not really unethical
IMHO..

Just like I was not sure how to send the non base-64 attachment email
initially... just a thought..

Initially i was also not sure how to send the mail, and my first 3 -4 mails
got rejected . but ok .. i learned from that .. if some one would have told
me that do this , and do that , then i would have never known the different
options that are available. I know i will also face the same problem when i
reach task 8, but i want to solve the problem myself. and i believe sending
the solution is also a part of the task.

I suspect that learning the *process* is as much a part of this
challenge as the programming tasks. And you do learn a lot more by
figuring out stuff reading the docs, than by copying someone elses
solution.

Isn't that the whole point of the challenge?
