An Introduction to GitHub

What is GitHub?

GitHub is a web-based interface that uses Git, the open source version control software
that lets multiple people make separate changes to web pages at the same time. Because
it allows for real-time collaboration, GitHub encourages teams to work together to build
and edit their site content.

How Can GitHub Help My Team and Me?

GitHub allows multiple developers to work on a single project at the same time, reduces
the risk of duplicative or conflicting work, and can help decrease production time. With
GitHub, developers can build code, track changes, and innovate solutions to problems that
might arise during the site development process simultaneously.

How Do I Speak GitHub?

There are common terms teams will need to understand when using GitHub. They are:

Repository (repo) — a folder in which all files and their version histories are stored.

Branch — a workspace in which you can make changes that won’t affect the live site.

Markdown (.md) — a way to write in Github that converts plain text to GitHub code. Sites
such as Atom and Sublime Text are examples of free resources for developers using
Markdown.

Commit Changes — a saved record of a change made to a file within the repo.
Pull Request (PR) — the way to ask for changes made to a branch to be merged into
another branch that also allows for multiple users to see, discuss and review work being
done.

Merge — after a pull request is approved, the commit will be pulled in (or merged) from
one branch to another and then, deployed on the live site

Issues — how work is tracked when using git. Issues allow users to report new tasks and
content fixes, as well as allows users to track progress on a project board from beginning
to end of a specific project.

Federalist — a platform that securely deploys a website from a GitHub repository in


minutes and lets users preview proposed and published changes.

Becoming fluent in GitHub terminology might seem intimidating at first, but the more
team members engage with the platform, the easier it is to understand the ins and outs of
GitHub.

How Do I Use GitHub?

Any member on the team, developers and non-developers, that has access to a GitHub
repository can change and merge files in GitHub. The following is a step-by-step method in
which GitHub users can develop their websites:

Step 1 — Team members will open an issue via a project board.

Step 2 — Team members will create a new branch from the most recent version of the
main branch in the repository where the entire team works to avoid conflicts.

Step 3 — Team members will add commits (edits/ changes) to their respective branches.

Step 4 — Team members will open a pull request in which users can assign other team
members to review content changes and internally discuss the details of the commits.

Step 5 — After waiting for the Federalist build to complete, team members can preview
the change on a test version of the website and request reviewers to approve or comment
on the change. Once the reviewers approve the pull request, the commits merge into the
main branch and are published on the live site.
