GITHUB AND THE SOFTWARE STARTUP The First Month. Nathan Hughes
@ndh313
THE LEAN SOFTWARE STARTUP Pay for what you need, and
nothing else.
CHEAPNESS IS A SURVIVAL TRAIT
DAY ONE What’s the problem?
WHY GITHUB?
SMALL & NIMBLE SOURCE CODE IS IMPORTANT WORKFLOW IS IMPORTANT
SOCIAL SHARING ALIGNS
WEEK ONE What’s the problem?
KEEPING SECRETS Private and public repositories
KEEPING SECRETS SECRET SSH Public and Private Keys
GETTING YOUR STUFF INTO GITHUB
SO WHERE DO YOU START?
LONE WOLF WORKFLOW
Your Laptop github.com origin master local master Start Work End
Work git commit git add git clone git push 1 1 1 2
WEEK TWO What’s the problem?
GETTING YOUR STUFF ONTO OTHER SERVERS
DEPLOY KEYS
Your Laptop github.com origin master local master Start Work End
Work git commit git add Your Staging local master git clone 1 1 git push git pull 1 2 1 3
WEEK THREE What’s the problem?
ORGANIZATIONS AND TEAMS
ONE LESS SHORTCUT git pull: out. git fetch and git
merge: in
STANDARD PRACTICES fetch and merge from master often integrate often
MASTER REPOSITORY What the organization owns, aka upstream.
PERSONAL FORKS Yours, your new origin.
YOUR NEW WORKFLOW Work in your fork, send Pull Requests
to the Master
Your Laptop github.com Master Repo (upstream) master local master Start
Work End Work git commit git add Fork Repo (origin) master git clone git push Merge Pull Request Fork 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5
BUT WHY? Two good reasons.
GRANULAR CHANGES Answering “what in the ***** happened?” since 2008.
CODE REVIEW The practice you can’t afford to skip.
KEEP IT. IF YOU CAN. Personal Forking and Pull Requesting
is a clean, simple, versatile workflow. It can work for a long time.
WEEK FOUR Success breeds complexity!
OH, YOU’RE HAVING PROBLEMS You don’t say. What a mess.
How interesting.
HARD DECISIONS Feature Branches? Per Developer Branches? Something Else? Dedicated
Build Managers?
BECAUSE WE ARE small, experienced, co-located, self-managing, WE’LL TRY FEATURE
BRANCHES
None
FEATURE BRANCHES
Your Laptop github.com Master Repo (upstream) master Start Work git
commit git add Fork Repo (origin) git clone git push -u origin feature Merge Branch Branch Pull Request Fork 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 local master git checkout -b feature End Work git checkout master 1 6 Feature Branch Pull Requests local feature
Your Laptop github.com Feature Branch Merge (Pull Request Accepted) Fork
Repo (origin) master git fetch upstream git push 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 local master Upstream Merge local feature (abandon) Master Repo (upstream) master git diff master upstream/master git merge upstream/master
WHEW.
GITHUB ISSUES
GITHUB WIKIS
WEEK FIVE AND BEYOND What else could there be?
WHAT ELSE COULD THERE BE? • Harvest - time tracking
• Jira - story tracking • Testflight - build management • Crashlytics - crash reporting • Trello - information mapping • Dropbox - file sharing • IRC - team chatting • Amazon S3 - cheap storage • Amazon EC2 - dedicated servers
QUESTIONS?
Good Bye! Nathan Hughes @ndh313
