Github developing stack
- 2. Motivation ➢ Simplify your workflow ➢ Collaborate ➢ Show off your work ➢ Open Source
- 3. Scope 1. Git 2. Github 3. Slack 4. Travis CI 5. ZenHub
- 4. Git concepts ❏ Versioning source code… Why versioning will simplify your workflow? ❏ Multiple coders can write the same source code, git will help you to combine each work. ❏ Made a mistake in the last modification, you can backtrack. ❏ No more mycode_v1.cpp, mycode_v2.cpp, … ❏ Easy to setup and tinker. ❏ Infinity extensions
- 5. Git mini-tutorial 1: Local git $ git init $ git add mycode.cpp $ git commit -m ‘First commit’ $ git push
- 6. Git mini-tutorial 2: Sync with master $ git remote add origin “your github repo” $ git fetch # Sync with github, keep your local code intact $ git pull # Update to the latest version in github # What if there was a conflict? $ git pull --rebase && git push
- 7. Git mini-tutorial 3: Branches $ git branch # list branches $ git checkout -b “your new branch” #create $ git checkout -t origin/”remote branch” #download $ git merge --no-ff master # merge master into your branch
- 8. Github ★ Using git you need remote servers, github provides for free to you ★ Boost git by adding collaborative features ★ Nice UI for git ★ Secure and fast ★ Show off your code ★ Engage in Open Source projects
- 9. Github limitations ★ Github fails to offer important features: ○ Project management tools ○ Real-time communication ○ Code analysis tools ○ Continuous integration tools ★ Yet, it provides a way to add integrations, here is my selection: ○ Slack, for communication ○ ZenHub, for project management ○ Travis CI, for continuous integration
- 10. BONUS: Github student developer pack You are eligible for this pack!
- 11. Slack ➢ Github does not offer real-time communication ➢ If you need to chat, call, or make a videoconference. What will you use in your team? ➢ Slack gives you that while is totally integrated with github (Among more things) ➢ Be notified when someone change the code or open an issue
- 12. Zenhub ● Github doesn’t provide Project management tools (PMS). ● The size of the team is proportional to the importance of PMS. ● Yet, we are CS engineers not PM experts ● Agile project management is a simple and effective PM technique suitable for software dev.
- 13. Travis CI ➢ What is whenever you push your code to github you could check it works ➢ Maybe not important for you, what if you are working in a team? ➢ Block merges until the test passes ➢ Deployment
