Collaborative GitHub Repository

It’s time to get your hands dirty with some action-oriented instruction. For this chapter’s project, you’re in a dilemma. You and your team have been storing scripts in a OneDrive folder and need a better way to manage code.

Discovering GitHub, you’d like to set up a repo to see how you and your team can collaborate within GitHub.

The helpdesk department created a service account for you so you could sign up to GitHub with an account that everyone can use to access. Maybe there’s a way to add more people to the repositories for collaboration.

Project overview

In this hands-on lab, you will hit the ground running with GitHub. In this project, you will:

• Ensure all necessary tools for this project are installed.

• Create a GitHub repo called NoBSAutomation.

• Add a collaborator to the repo.

• Clone the GitHub repo.

• Create a branching strategy using GitFlow by using branches called master and develop.

• Make a change to a branch and use VS Code to commit code to the repo by creating a PR.

• Review and merge the changes made by the PR into the master branch.

By the time you’re done, you will have covered a basic workflow using GitHub.
