How to download from GitHub - MacOS Apprentice

I fail to be able to download the Snowman images as instructed in CH 5. I am a beginner and don’t understand GitHub. I try to drag Snowman folder to Assets as instructed but get no + sign as shown. I have been doing well so far with the book but I am now very frustrated!

@Sarah please see above

Hi and welcome to the forums.

GitHub can be very confusing, but if you follow these steps, you should get what you need:

  • go to https://github.com/kodecocodes/maca-materials/tree/editions/1.0
  • click the green Code button and then click Download ZIP in the popup.
  • double-click the zip file to un-zip it if your browser hasn’t already done that for you.
  • now you have a folder containing a sub-folder for each chapter.
  • the Snowmen folder is in 05-beginning-swiftui/assets and that is what you drag into Assets

I hope this helps, but please get back to me if you have any further questions.

Sarah
