+## Using Netbeans for MV3500 Homework Assignments
+
+To submit homework via Netbeans to the gitlab server you will first need to
+clone a copy of the course repository at
+
+* https://gitlab.nps.edu/Savage/NetworkedGraphicsMV3500
+
+Use Netbeans to upload/update your homework assignments as follows:
+
+1. Save into your local directory for `projects/Assignments/homework1` (as appropriate)
+1. Select file of interest in Netbeans tab for Files
+1. *context menu:* **Refactor/Rename** and take spaces out of file name (gets wacky on various operating systems, email etc.)
+1. Ensure Java classes and source files start with your last name
+1. *context menu:* **Run file**(s) to test 
+1. *context menu:* **Git > commit**; provide comment documenting the change
+1. Verify that the entry in Files tab goes from green to black, indicating you have committed to your local repository.
+1. *context menu:* **Git > Remote > Push to Upstream**
+
+You can now verify that your files are been shared by checking the website:
