@a-a-ron Sorry Aaron, I was looking at you approving my pull request but our phone in Toronto was already disconnected and I did not hear what you were saying. By the time we dialed again, you closed the meeting. Anyway thanks for the interesting course. Looking forward to continuing tomorrow.

I had mentioned that I wanted to know how to back up the git aliases so if my computer crashed that I could recover them. You were going to investigate how to back up the aliases.

a-a-ron commented 5 years ago

@mferguso123, you can create a .gitconfig file outside a specific repository to keep all your aliases in. You can do this using a GitHubGist like this link or you can store these in a personal repo on your account and have Git version control that file. This way, if your computer completely crashes or it's damaged, you can always recover these aliases and configurations since you have them stored on GitHub.

@a-a-ron Hi Aaron, two concerns have come up as a result of the training: 1) We are using Google's GIT Repo. This is to accommodate multiple repositories at the same time. Have you dealt with Repo for other users of GitHub? How best would we integrate GitHub with Repo? Or is there another "wrapper" that uses GitHub that we could use with Repo?

2) Do you have any resources (or your own) about using GitHub with embedded system projects - especially ones dealing with new hardware? This may be more out of your area, but the main concern is how CI/CD can work with dealing with new hardware (including new chipsets) and the inevitable delays of the hardware.

@a-a-ron Hi Aron, What would you say is a better approach to bring changes from local dev branch to remote master? Starting from local repository. D(L)->D(R)->M(R) or D(L)->M(L)->M(R) where D(L) - local dev branch M(L) - master local branch D(R) - remote dev branch M(R) - master remote branch Is there a best practice or it depends on a situation? Regards, Goran

@a-a-ron Is this what we should be using for GitHub for repo support: https://github.com/googleapis/github-repo-automation

@a-a-ron I'm taking this video training now. It seems I cannot create a new branch (as you discuss in Day 1 video) - perhaps because I'm not an invited contributor to this Project ? How can I try creating a branch as an exercise..?

@githubteacher - not sure if you can help here..?

a-a-ron commented 5 years ago

Hey @balavenkata, you were not a contributor to this project but that should only affect the contributions from merging a pull request, you should still be able to create a branch. However, I've added you as a contributor to this repository so you'll just need to accept the invite. You can do that by clicking the link below;

https://github.com/githubschool/extreme-networks/invitations

Also, make sure you're signed into GitHub when you try to create a branch. Otherwise, the option will be grayed out.

@a-a-ron Hi Aaron, re-entering an issue.

We are using Google's GIT Repo. This is to accommodate multiple repositories at the same time. Have you dealt with Repo for other users of GitHub? How best would we integrate GitHub with Repo? Or is there another "wrapper" that uses GitHub that we could use with Repo? Is this what we could use: https://github.com/googleapis/github-repo-automation
