Repository Purpose & How to Add Katas

This repository is meant to grow with new katas for practicing programming, design, and teamwork. To add a new kata, simply create a folder for it inside the language you want to use (e.g., python/your_kata_name, java/your_kata_name).

What is a Kata?

A kata is a programming exercise that you practice repeatedly to improve your skills. Through deliberate practice and repetition, you develop muscle memory for good coding habits, TDD workflows, and collaborative programming techniques.

Getting Started

1. Move to your team branch (available branches: team1, team2, team3, ...):

   git checkout teamX

   Replace teamX with your assigned team branch.

2. Start the development environment:

   make env-start

3. Run the tests to verify everything works:

   make test

4. Start practicing! Begin the TDD cycle with your pair.

   make rotate "description of what you did"

5. Final step before finishing the kata

   Each team should execute the cleanup command for their branch to leave everything ready for the next kata:

   make cleanup branch=teamX
