GitHub Standard Fork & Pull Request Workflow

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

Rust type tutorial

I found understanding Rust types really confusing, so I wrote up a small tutorial for myself in an attempt to understand some of them. This is by no means exhaustive. There is a types section in the manual, but it has nowhere near enough examples.

I'm not talking about managed pointers (@) at all. A lot of the difficulty with Rust types is that the language is constantly changing, so this will likely be out of date soon.

First, a few preliminaries: it's easier to play with types if you have a REPL and can interactively check the types of objects. This isn't really possible in Rust, but there are workarounds.

To start out: some help

[Git] Git-to-Github Workflow

Git Workflow

Below is our current practice for using Git (the technology) & Github (the repository) when collaborating on projects. This process assumes that you already have Git installed & configured, and there is an existing project repository on Github with a "development" branch already setup.

If you do not have Git installed, follow these instructions.

This process also assumes that you are using the command line, however most of these tasks can be performed with a desktop client like Github for Mac or Tower.

Process

Getting Started

1.) Open terminal and locate the project directory you wish to use.

Vagrant tutorial

Vagrant Setup

This tutorial guides you through creating your first Vagrant project.

We start with a generic Ubuntu VM, and use the Chef provisioning tool to:

  • install packages for vim, git
  • create user accounts, as specified in included JSON config files
  • install specified user dotfiles (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc) from a git repository

Afterwards, we'll see how easy it is to package our newly provisioned VM
