Build GHA development practice

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Overview

We need org level GHAs across projects, and it would be useful to have some general HfLA guides about GHAs so that we can make running projects easier.

Action Items

• [ ] Identify where the open GHAs will live
  • [ ] Review how the Data Science Community of Practice shares opportunities with their members
• [ ] How we will determine prioritization
• [ ] Who can submit
• [ ] Requirement drafting standards

Copy current instructions from Hack for LA website team and make it generic

Workshops we could run

• How the workflow works
• Syntax
• Command Line
• Testing the GitHub Actions you have written (to reduce the time your testing takes)

  • [x] Question: What do you mean by "automated as to do" for the "Proposed" column? See the website project board for what is in the automation
  • [x] Question: Are pull requests (PRs) going on the board too? If so, which columns? How does it work?
  • [ ] Question: Do we want to auto-archive issues or PRs?

Create a template issue for submitting a GHA proposal. See https://github.com/hackforla/engineering/issues/30 and add anything you think is necessary

Assigned to: @JessicaLucindaCheng Progress: Completed but still have more questions to be answered and need for more items to be reviewed. Blockers:

• Wait on Bonnie to think about if she wants to just use 100 Automations project board/management system or the new board I created. Thus, I am pausing any work on this until a decision is reached.
• Need a review and questions to be answered. Availability: 2 hours ETA: Nov 30, 2022

Tasks

• [x] Project board (using new projects and iterations) with each GHA that is ready to work on, or in progress of being written.

  • [x] Question: Are pull requests (PRs) going on the board too? If so, which columns? How does it work? No, don't put prs on the board. If a pr needs review, the associated issue should go in the PR needs review column.
  • [x] Question: Do we want to auto-archive issues? No, we are just going to manually archive.
• [x] Question: Do we want a wiki defining what goes in what columns and the process of how issues move through the columns? Yes
• [ ] Review Settings
  • [ ] Project Settings
  • [ ] Project name
  • [ ] Description
  • [x] README
    • [ ] Question: What, if anything, do you want in the README? Maybe wiki page if we decide to have one?
    • [ ] ReadMe should have an overview. With a link to the wiki (actually use mkdocs or docusaurus instead of the wiki). Replicate the mkdocs directory from https://github.com/hackforla/civictechjobs but make it only a docs folder, like https://github.com/codeforamerica/brigade-project-index (this is the associated website to it https://brigade.cloud/).
  • Bonnie asked Ava will install mkdocs or docusaurus on the engineering repo.
• Notes: Separate repos for each GHAs but since this is the same as 100 Automations then we don't need separate repos but just use the 100 Automations process.
  • [ ] Visibility
    • Only organization owners can change project visibility.
    • [ ] If you want to change it to public, the organization owner has to do it.
