Geospatial-Center-Code

A repository for helpful scripts created by the Geospatial Center team (and others!). The Geospatial Center is a group of Solution Engineers across different teams within Esri. Through our day-to-day work, we often find ourselves creating helpful scripts for products across the ArcGIS software stack. This repo will hold those scripts as they become available.

Contributing to the best code in the world!

If you'd like to contribute, please follow the example template for what files and details are needed.

Visual Studio Code is a great IDE to use with strong and easy-to-use GitHub integration. Generally, you can follow this workflow for contributing using VSCode:

• In VSCode
  • Cloning the repo
  • Making a local copy of the repo on your machine
  • Creating a branch
  • You’ll make your changes/additions here first
  • Adding your script(s)
  • Literally creating folders/files for your scripts
  • Staging the changes
  • For example, if you have 10 files, but only want to add 3 of them, you would “stage” only those 3 files
  • Writing a commit message
  • A short descriptive message about what’s being added/changed
  • Committing your new additions to your new branch
  • Move your additions/changes from “staged” to “committed” in your branch only
  • Push changes to your new branch to the remote repo on Github.com
  • Send the additions/changes from your local machine to the remote repo on GH.com
  • This results in creating a remote version of your branch in the remote repo on GH.com
• On Github.com
  • Create a Pull Request (commonly referred to as a “PR”) to merge your new branch into the “master” branch
  • Create a request that will merge your branch into the “master” branch
  • Comments/discussion can happen around this pull request as needed
  • Merging your changes/additions into the master branch
  • This will merge your branch into the “master” branch and make your script available to all!
• Delete your local and remote branches

Esri welcomes contributions from anyone and everyone. Please see our guidelines for contributing.
