Description
Every semester we have to manually create the GH classroom and all the assignments/labs within the classroom. We typically have about 6/7 assignments, 13 labs, and a group project.
Doing all of this through the GH classroom website is tedious. I'd love to see GH classroom creation for a given GH org, as well as the assignment creation/editing exposed so we can create everything programatically, and also add these commands to the GH classroom extension.
## Proposed endpoint
A POST to `/classrooms/create` would create a classroom for a given GH organization with
- GH classroom name
A POST to `classroom/$clasroom_id` would edit an existing classroom
A POST to `classroom/$classroom_id/assignment/create` would create an assignment with:
- assignment name
- assignment prefix
- source repo url
- due date
- etc
A POST to `classroom/$clasroom_id/assignment/$assignment_id` would edit an existing assignment
## Justification
Help with automation especially when there is a need to create many assignments in a course
