GitHub key points — part 1
GitHub account
GitHub uses a distributed CVS framework and is one of the most popular software tools used in software development projects. It allows a team of developers to work on a code project simultaneously and removes the overhead of managing the changes committed.
To get started with GitHub, you can sign up for a free account by following this link.
Getting Started
- Create a GitHub account by going to the website and clicking the sign-up button. Follow the prompts to complete the sign-up process.
2. Create an organization under your GitHub account. At the organizational level, you can create teams and invite developers. You can find more information about organization invitations here.
3. Under the organization, a project repository is created. For example, if the organization is looking to build an application to help kids find places to visit during the holidays, a project-holiday repository will be created. This means that all the code for that application will be under the project-holiday repository. The repository in this case will be private, unless you want the world to have access to the code.
4. Developers and teams are invited to work on the application code.
5. Permissions are set for the respective developers. The default permissions are read, write, maintain, and triage. Visit here for more information.
