The goal of this repository is to create an exercise for students on learning GIT. They will add features and unit tests for different products but also will have to create some changes in the main function for which it is important to avoid or resolve merge conflicts. The code is based on the Gilded Rose Refactoring Kata. this repository was updated, by me (a student), to practice working with GIT.

This Kata was originally created by Terry Hughes (http://twitter.com/TerryHughes). It is already on GitHub here. See also Bobby Johnson's description of the kata.

As Bobby Johnson points out in his article "Why Most Solutions to Gilded Rose Miss The Bigger Picture", it'll actually give you better practice at handling a legacy code situation if you do this Kata in the original C#. However, I think this kata is also really useful for practicing writing good tests using different frameworks and approaches, and the small changes I've made help with that. I think it's also interesting to compare what the refactored code and tests look like in different programming languages.
