First things First: The Octocat

This is the octocat.This is the first thing youShould know.

is Git?• Git is a source code management tool

(scm) and a version control system• Neckbeards use git to keep track of

their codez.• Project source code get big. A lot of

people work on it. When you change a lot of code you need to keep track of changes.– If you break something you can

“revert”– During code review you can see what

other people changed– Other stuff that you don’t care about

Page 5: Github for Serious Business Professional

I don’t care about source code. I don’t code!

Page 6: Github for Serious Business Professional

Thats ok…

• Github is a lot more than git. • Github adds functionality on top of source

code management to include product management features.

• To paraphrase our fearless CTO – everybody at Zaarly works on product, and our product is a web technology – it is important that we all kinda speak a similar language.

Product management for neckbeards

Neckbeard words we use in github• Repository: the main code base of a project. A fancy name for a directory or folder in

your compooter.– [API / Web / Admin]

• Branch: A “version” of the source code. – We have a “master” branch which is considered “production ready”. It might not be in

production yet, but it is considered bug free and ready to deploy. – Usually we have “feature” branches. This is not in production and totally buggy, but it is

something someone is working on. – [api/read-states, admin/email-cms, admin/fix-profiles-bug]

• Commit: A commit is record of changes to code in a project.• Push: You “push” code from your computer to github. • Pull: You “pull” code from github to your computer.• Merge: To combine one branch into another branch – usually done to and from “master”• Pull Request: Telling the world that you want them to merge your (feature) branch into

master. It is a call to code review.• Diff: A list of changes, the “diff(erance)” from one commit to another.

Home is where the devs live

• We kind of live in Github. It is our Google docs.• If you can speak to us on github effectively,

you will get your issues heard.

Our Repos (repositories) that you care about

• API - this is the “back end” it handles all the behind the scenes stuff that all the other applications use to talk to / most database stuff that happens – Also product emails

• Web – Web front end, this used to be the same thing as API until about a month ago – web / mobile web problems go here

• iOs – iphone app• Android -- android app• Admin – internal tools, listings, users

management, sales crm, exports, SOME product emails
