Background info on git / github
- 1. Git / version control the backbone of all dev Git github Github.com Bryan Ollendyke [at]btopro Developer Activist
- 3. Today’s Topic / What you'll learn about - git https://git-scm.com - How developers work together using git - What a pull request look like - How to collaborate effectively on github - Alternatives to github - How to write / what is markdown Git Version control
- 4. Terms / definitions for today - git – command line version control system we’ll experience this the most today - FOSS – Free, Open Source Software Free is important since things could be open source yet not actually be free use - Markdown / MD – text annotation / enhancement via simple character association surrounding text - SaaS – Software as a Service, a platform offering methodology where users get access to software and pay in a service oriented manner Git Version control
- 5. Who’s using Git / Alternatives - Not everyone.. But basically everyone - Subversion / SVN is an alternative version control system - Github’s ease of use + Linux using git really caused it to take off - Replication / stability in large networks or decentralization of approaches also benefits git Git Version control
- 6. SVN vs Git Erica Chang - https://hackbrightacademy.com/blog/svn-vs-git/
- 7. Who uses git in their day to day - Devops / sys admins – for configuration or automation files - System programmers – per change or per feature for code - Front end – JavaSscript / HTML files - Designer – CSS / images / graphics - Managers – Typically just via code management platforms like github / gitlab Git Version control
- 8. Gitlab - Github is NOT open source itself - Github SaaS USED for FOSS hosting - GitLab Open source alternative + SaaS - Gitlab provides similar capabilities and ripped off many of its features as open - Github advantage - free service, can pay for more features - private repos / unified dev - owned by Microsoft (as of 2018) - Gitlab advantages - can run internal to organization - advanced CI workflow capabilities - Organizational logins (PSU uses this) Git Version control
- 9. What is git look like - terminal / command line program - Basic usage / hello-world - mkdir hello-world - cd hello-world - touch README.md - git init - git add –A - git commit –m “documenting a change made” - git push origin master Git Version control
- 10. Why Github “won” for most FOSS projects - https://desktop.github.com/ - Desktop apps for all platforms to make git visual / approachable - github repos themselves are very clean - easy to “see” where you are in code - Many languages visualized / color coded in browser - Able to click “edit” on any file and modify it in browser and make “commit” - Issues / Pull Requests / Releases - Organizes process of code organization - ”PR” / “Fork” workflow is amazing - Release management / “tag” easy to view Github
- 14. Useful links / learning more - https://github.com/- make an account! - https://desktop.github.com/ visualizing / making new repos with ease - https://www.markdownguide.org/ cheat sheet and explanations - https://github.com/jlord/git-it-electron Desktop app that helps with walking you through getting git setup on commandline - https://hackbrightacademy.com/blog/svn-vs-git/ Nice write up of SVN vs Git at high level Github
- 15. What we’ll do now - See how my team uses Github / git every day - make a Pull Request against our course content itself! https://github.com/btopro/ist402 - Fork and do an in class activity - Lab time fixing minor documentation issues in some HAX related pages to get our feet wet at what contributions workflows look like in real FOSS projects Github
