Sharing project with students as read-only

Replit Help
1

Hi,
As a teacher I would like to share C code with students in read-only option to show them possible solution. Did some searches, but couldn’t find how to do it.

Hi. You can just share the link to your repl, so they can see the code and run it, but cannot edit it. Is this what you were looking for?

Hey @janeksz! Welcome to the formus!

If you want just want to display code without the ability of running them, you can use websites like Pastebin to upload your files there.

Otherwise, you can just share by copying the URL when you go into the cover page of your Repl like what @Nicolello has mentioned.

yes, that’s what i want. I see just going through the Publish sequence does the job. However it doesn’t come always with an option of Show Files. Where is it hidden?

It works with Firefox browser, doesn’t work with Chrome, where the Show Files is not displayed. It is actually displayed for a sec and then disappear for good. It’s a problem as our students have only Chrome installed on their workshop computers. Can it be fixed?

OK on Firefox (doesn’t work on Chrome)

With the new Replit UI, the show files button has been moved.

I would like people I’m sharing with to be able to see the C source code, but not edit it. Can can that be achieved then? Only the terminal output is shown. Is there a way to do it? if not, is there another option for sharing read-only C source

Yes, your students can click the “Show Code” button, and see your files.

There is no “Show Code” button in a new version as I was just inform, so is it or not or is it hidden somewhere?

The button looks like this: < >

  1. get your replit sid
  2. here you have to run this python code:
import os
os.system("pip install replit-bot") # cheap fix but lol

from replit_bot import gql

sid = "YOUR_SID_HERE"
x = gql("", "repl", {"url": "YOUR_REPL_URL"})
id = x["repl"]["id"]

gql(
    sid,
    "addMultiplayer",
    vars={"username": USERNAME_OF_STUDENT, "replId": id, "type": "r"},
)
