Collaborating with github

Objectives

  • Understand git remotes;
  • Fork, clone and push from/to github;
  • Open a PR and understand the review process.

Plan

  • Discuss how we will now look at collaborating using git: this essentially corresponds to branching where different individuals use different branches. Github is a service that makes this easier. (Possibly mention other services: gitlab, bitbucket etc…).
  • Demo the fork;
  • Demo the clone;
  • Demo modifying a file (point at extra/markdown);
  • Demo the commit;
  • Demo pushing: discuss that it’s actually possible to have many remotes (origin/ upstream).
  • Demo opening the PR and discuss PR message.
  • Review PRs.
  • Possibly discuss other useful github features such as issues, etc…
