When you go to create your own coding tests or want to customize existing ones, you may want to update the instructions that go along with those. In this guide, we'll show you how.
❗ If you want to edit the instructions on one of Alva's standard challenges, you need to first make a duplicate version of it on your account.
Find the challenge you wish to make edits to, and open it in Github. Whenever you open a challenge repository, you will be faced with the README.md section at the bottom of the page.
Click the pen-icon to start editing the instructions! Some tips & tricks:
You can use Markdown formatting to adjust the text
# symbols indicate headings
Using double * symbols around a word will make it bold
Dashes creates lists
Click Preview in the top left corner to see how your edits will look once you've saved them
To save your changes
Once you've made changes to the file, you will be able to click a green button called Commit changes... , it is used to save changes.
Click the button and make sure to select Commit directly to the main branch as the option. Then finally click Commit changes to save your changes and make them available for any candidates the will take the test going forward!
