GitHub for government — a hands-on
workshop for developers
11 April 2016
To build digital services that meet user needs, developers must collaborate when shipping
code.
Caption: GitHub helps you collaborate on code, data, or policy, within your organisation or with
the public.
Teams need tools that help them experiment with ideas in code. Future maintainers need to
know what the original authors were thinking. What if there were tools that helped both users?
Over the past 10 years Git (https://git-scm.com/) has become the de facto standard for version
controlling code changes, and GitHub (https://github.com/) has emerged as the the platform
for teams to collaborate when solving problems together.
More than 600 government organisations
(https://government.github.com/community/) around the world use GitHub to collaborate on
code, data, and policy.
At this workshop, the GitHub team will walk you through what the GitHub workflow looks like:
from idea, to code running in front of users. We’ll cover fast iteration with branches,
collaboration and code review with
pull requests (https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-
requests/), and accelerated feedback loops with continuous integration.
Who: This event is for anyone who writes code, or who leads people who write code
