I'd like to second this question. I'm looking at this class starting Monday and I'd like to get my labs uploaded. |

I too would like to know when the template/fork changes are going live. Spring classes are starting very soon for a lot of us and we need to get the new workflows nailed down ASAP. If it is going to be after Monday the 6th, you need to let us know that things are going to be changing mid-term for a lot of us. |

Because GitHub Classroom is used with teaching, issues like this are time-sensitive. Can @Iron-Ham or @samus-aran give feedback on this? |

Agreed! When is this happening? It was announced on Dec 8th without a timeline. Not very professional! We really need to know please! |

I also need to know when this change is occurring. I need to release my term project repository by Friday 1/19. I only get one shot for the entire spring semester, and I would prefer to do so under the new system to avoid merge conflicts. |

Upcoming Changes to Assignment Repositories and Starter Code in GitHub Classroom
New Year is off to an exciting start with important changes to Classroom so keep these updates on your calendar in January.
Currently, starter code repositories must be template repositories, and GitHub Classroom creates a repository from a template for each student repository. After the change, student repositories will be created by forking the starter code repository.
It was thanks to your feedback from the Educators community that this change will now grant the ability to change starter code after an assignment has been accepted by students. 🎉Check out what else is planned for the January update in the Changelog blog post.
To the future
Here's to a fantastic year behind us and an even more remarkable one ahead. Keep pushing boundaries, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another. The community's strength lies in its diversity and collective brilliance.
Wishing you all a joyful festive season, a restful break, and a thrilling start to the upcoming year. Keep it awesome! ⭐
