Instructor Notes

This tutorial builds on the earlier EIC tutorials and assumes learners already have a working eic-shell and a GitHub account with membership of the EIC organization.

Before the session

---

• Ask learners to complete the Setup page in advance, including downloading the starting analysis files and one simulation-campaign file (the xrdcp step can be slow).
• Confirm learners can push to GitHub over SSH, since the pipeline exercises require opening pull requests against the benchmark repositories.

Timing

---

Each of the five exercises is designed for roughly 20-30 minutes. The GitLab CI pipelines can take a while to run, so plan to start a pipeline and move on while it completes rather than waiting live.
