Workflows and Integration Strategies

This assignment will incentivize you to get familiar with the different GitHub workflow strategies for:

integrating/merging pull requests and
establishing traceability between commits, tasks and pull requests

Step 1 - Create a New Repository

Using your personal GitHub account create a public, empty GitHub repository called CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.

The following options should be disabled/unchecked:

Add a README file
Add .gitignore
Choose a license

Why make the repository public?

:yawning_face: **tl;dr**: it will allow you to visualize the repository history and branches (see [visualization example](https://github.com/BoiseState/CS471-Assignments-Workflows/network)). Feel free to delete the repository (or make it private) once you complete the assignment. Creating a public repository will allow you to [visualize your repository history and see all the branches](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/viewing-activity-and-data-for-your-repository/understanding-connections-between-repositories#viewing-a-repositorys-network), which is a feature that will be extremely useful in this assignment. However, this [repository insights](https://github.com/pricing#compare-features) feature: - is not available for personal **private** repositories, - but it is available for personal **public** repositories (or for personal **private** repositories with a **Team** subscription, which you may not have). ---

Step 2 - Clone Starter Code Repository

Clone this CS471-Assignments-Workflows repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/BoiseState/CS471-Assignments-Workflows.git

$ cd CS471-Assignments-Workflows

Step 3 - Push the Cloned Code to the New Repository

The contents of master branch of the cloned repository (from Step 2) will be pushed the repository that you created (in Step 1).

Step 3a

Check the existing origin remote, which should indicate the URL of the cloned repository:

$ git remote --verbose
origin  https://github.com/BoiseState/CS471-Assignments-Workflows.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/BoiseState/CS471-Assignments-Workflows.git (push)

Step 3b

Remove the origin remote pointing to the cloned repository:

$ git remote remove origin

Add a new origin remote that will point to the repository that you created (in Step 1):

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/<GitHubUsername>/CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.git
or
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:<GitHubUsername>/CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.git

$ git remote --verbose
origin  https://github.com/<GitHubUsername>/CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<GitHubUsername>/CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.git (push)
or
origin  git@github.com:<GitHubUsername>/CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:<GitHubUsername>/CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment.git (push)

Step 3c

Push the master branch to your newly create repository (in Step 1):

$ git push -u origin master

Step 3d - Push All the Tags

Push all tags to your newly create repository (in Step 1):

$ git push --tags

Step 4 - Create a User Story and Tasks

In your CS471WorkflowsHomeworkAssignment repository created in Step 1, go to Issues -> New issue and create one type of each of the six issues (i.e., one user story and five tasks), in the ascending order specified.

NOTE: The GitHub issue templates have already been configured to create these issues with ease.

At the end of this step, you should have the following issues created:

Issue ID	Issue Type	Title
`#1`	User Story	Workflow Integrating Strategies
`#2`	Task	Merge Integration Strategy
`#3`	Task	Rebase Integration Strategy
`#4`	Task	Squash with Default Message Integration Strategy
`#5`	Task	Squash with Traceability to Task and PR in Commit Message Integration Strategy, but with Some Commits in the Branch Referencing the Task
`#6`	Task	Squash with Traceability to Task and PR in Commit Message Integration Strategy, without Any Commits in the Branch Referencing the Task
