GitHub Classroom automates repository creation and access control, making it easy for teachers to distribute starter code and collect assignments on GitHub.

Module#depends_on

Allows you to break big classes up into multiple files.

  # app/controllers/application_controller.rb
  class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    # require_dependency 'application_controller/authentication_dependency'
    # require_dependency 'application_controller/errors_dependency'
    # require_dependency 'application_controller/feature_flags_dependency'

    depends_on :authentication, :errors, :feature_flags

  # app/controllers/application_controller/authetnication_dependency.rb
  class ApplicationController
  end

Each dependency should reopen the class and do its thing.  No more mucking
with defining ClassMethods modules or messing with the self.included
callback.

*files - Splatted array of String or Symbol filenames.  Each one will be
         expanded to "#{name.underscore}/#{file}_dependency"

Returns nothing.
