Quick start (GitHub Pages)

1. Push this repo to GitHub.
2. In repository settings → Pages, choose source main branch, folder /docs.

• scripts/monitor-server.sh: Run on the workstation to pull metrics over SSH and append to CSV in data/.

  chmod +x scripts/monitor-server.sh
  ./scripts/monitor-server.sh user@server-ip data/perf-sample.csv 30

Customise for your work

• Replace placeholder text (e.g., YOUR_STUDENT_ID, dates, IPs, distro choices) with your real values.
• Add your own screenshots to docs/assets/ and embed them in the weekly pages.
• Add real performance data to data/performance-template.csv or export new CSVs during testing.
• Update the scripts if your distribution uses different service names or tools.

Submission checklist (from the brief)

• GitHub Pages site with home page + seven weekly sections.
• StudentID_GitHub_URL.txt pointing to your Pages site.
