00push
Coding assignments that grade themselves
Teachers publish an assignment from a template repo. Students push code. Every commit is tested in an isolated sandbox and the result lands right on GitHub — in minutes, not weeks.
- Free for 100 runs a month
- No credit card
- 2-minute setup
Animated demo: a student runs git push, Better-learn spins up an isolated sandbox, runs the test command, and posts a passing Check Run to the commit on GitHub.
01setup
Simple on both sides of the classroom
No plugins to install, no grading scripts to babysit. If you can use GitHub, you can use Better-learn.
create
Create a classroom
One classroom per course or batch. Connect your GitHub organization once and you're set.
publish
Publish an assignment
Point at a template repository and write the test command that decides pass or fail. That's the whole setup.
watch
Watch results roll in
Every student push is graded automatically. See who passed, who's stuck, and read full test logs — without cloning anything.
accept
Accept the assignment
One click creates your own private copy of the starter code, with your GitHub account added as collaborator.
push
Code and push
Work in your editor like always. Commit and push when you're ready — no submission forms, no zip files.
iterate
Read the feedback
A ✓ or ✗ lands on your commit within minutes, with the full test output. Fix and push again as often as you like.
02grading
What happens on every push
One student commit, start to finish — and everything the grader gives you back.
result
GitHub-native
Results appear as Check Runs right on the commit. Students learn the real workflow they'll use on the job — no separate portal to check.
latency
Feedback in minutes
Grading starts the moment a student pushes. No waiting for office hours to find out a test fails.
isolation
Throwaway sandboxes
Each submission runs in a fresh sandbox that's destroyed afterwards. Student code can't reach your infrastructure.
roster
Built for classrooms
Teachers see every submission across the class — who passed, who's stuck, who hasn't started. Students see only their own work.
toolchain
Any language, any stack
If it runs from a shell command, it grades. You choose the test command per assignment.
retries
Every push is a new attempt
Students iterate until the tests pass — which is exactly how real software gets built.
03limits
Start free, upgrade when the class grows
A graded run is one student push through the sandbox. Nothing else is metered.

04questions
Questions teachers actually ask
- What do students need?
- Just a GitHub account and their usual editor. They sign in with GitHub, accept the assignment, and push code — there's nothing to install and no new workflow to learn.
- Which languages and test frameworks work?
- Any of them. You give each assignment a shell command — pytest, npm test, gradle test, cargo test, a custom script — and exit code 0 means passed. Assignments can also pick a sandbox with their toolchain preinstalled, so runs start fast.
- Can assignments have due dates?
- Yes. By default, pushes after the deadline are still graded but flagged late to you (and in the CSV export). Or flip one switch and the assignment stops grading at the deadline — students see it on the commit itself.
- Is there partial credit?
- Scores like 8/10 are read automatically from pytest, jest, vitest, JUnit, cargo, go test, and mocha output. Custom graders just print a SCORE: 8/10 line and that becomes the score.
- What counts as a graded run?
- One student push through the sandbox. The free plan includes 100 runs and 5 hours of sandbox time per organization every month; Pro raises that to 5,000 runs and 250 hours.
- Is student code kept private?
- Yes. Each student gets their own private copy of the starter repo, visible only to them and their teachers. Grading runs in an isolated sandbox that's destroyed afterwards.

Spend office hours teaching, not running test suites
Set up your first classroom in a few minutes. Your students will wonder why every course doesn't work this way.
