Github Workflow #

Github intro:

Create a user account for github.com
Github stores git repositories at github.com/{user}/{repo}

Github workflow, (to make a change in someone else’s repo):

(demo with https://github.com/fogcloud/workflow-demo )

Personal fork to your github account
Clone to local workstation
Feature branch
Make the change
(run any tests locally)
Commit, push to your fork on Github
Use github UI to make pull request to the main repo.
A team member other than the one who created the pull request should review and merge it.

Today’s Meeting has an in-class exercise #

Everyone should create a github account
One team member should create a new repository on their Github account.
That member should add the other members as contributors.
That member should commit the follwing file as www/index.html:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Team Page: [Team Name]</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Team Page: [Team Name]</h1>
        <p><strong>Members:</strong></p>
        <ul>
            <li>Member 1</li>
            <li>Member 2</li>
            <li>Member 3</li>
            <li>Member 4</li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>

Once that is committed, each team member should:

Create a personal fork (unless they own the repo).
Clone the repository locally.
Create a feature branch ({name}-add-name).
Edit the HTML file to add their name to the member list, removing one of the fake items from the list.
Commit their change to their local repository.
Push the change to their fork on Github.
Make a pull request.

Then each team member should review and merge someone else’s pull request.
