Post any questions you may have here during the training.

[Derek-Chang-BCBSA]

Looks like there are some clear advantages for using GitHub cloud, what are the benefits for using on-prem GitHub?

If GITHUB has CI/CD capabilities do we need tools like Jenkins

[ericalloyd]

• [x] Can we use a script to check branch protections across repos and update them/enforce the rules?

[ericalloyd]

• [ ] How to view diff for different types of files, ex: image files

[umagitac]

Can we have different set of branch protection rules based on different group of users? e.g. any pull request from usergroup1 should be approved by minimum 2 reviewers and for usergroup2 by at least 1 reviewer on a specific branch?

Script to check branch protections across repos and update them/enforce rules

GitHub has an API to check branch protections https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/branches/#get-branch-protection

We have a script to check for branch protections and enforce the protection using Jenkins pipeline: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/branches/#get-branch-protection

[vila89]

Can we have different set of branch protection rules based on different group of users? e.g. any pull request from usergroup1 should be approved by minimum 2 reviewers and for usergroup2 by at least 1 reviewer on a specific branch?

The best way to do this is probably to use a different branch for different user groups so that rules can vary for different branches

In addition, users/teams can be auto assigned to be the reviewers of a pull request using the CODEOWNERS file (Erica will cover this as part of the training)

• [x] Enforcing branch protections across all repositories

You'll need to have site-wide Admin rights. Go to Admin Center => Settings => Force Pushes section

This does not include all of the branch protection options available from within the repo, but you can enable this to prevent force pushing to the default branch. This is a new option!

[umagitac]

We create TAGs for each milestone (release to QA) on a specific branch. And, on the same branch the development team continues to push commits. If we want to give a patch on a specific tag , what do you think is the best way to achieve this? Can we include additional commits (only specific) to a TAG? How do we handle Pull Request and merge to the TAG?

[umagitac]

Do you have a sample Pull Request that demonstrates best practices and usage of most of the features of PR/Git Workflow?

[saikothuru]

Can we spend few mins to talk/install/use basic features of a GitHub App? A simple use case what we would want if want to ran a sonar scan on every branch which gets created in a repository.

[ericalloyd]

• [x] Move code from local machine to new remote repo
• [ ] Moving code from one branch to another (cherry-pick)

[lavpersonal]

Can you please talk more about upstream and fork concepts? what is the best practice to create a branch? Is it from origin( having your own fork) or upstream?

[ericalloyd]

• [x] What happens if I create a branch from a branch, and the branch I created it from is then deleted?

The branch is not actually deleted. References to it will still be preserved.

[ericalloyd]

• [ ] Does git bisect allow regex as input?
