Overview of this book

Whether you are an experienced developer or a novice, learning to work with Version Control Systems is a must in the software development world. Git is the most popular tool for that purpose, and GitHub was built around it, leveraging its powers by bringing it to the web. Starting with the basics of creating a repository, you will then learn how to manage the issue tracker, the place where discussions about your project take place. Continuing our journey, we will explore how to use the wiki and write rich documentation that will accompany your project. You will also master organization/team management and some of the features that made GitHub so well known, including pull requests. Next, we will focus on creating simple web pages hosted on GitHub and lastly, we will explore the settings that are configurable for a user and a repository.

Exploring the User and Repository Settings

In this chapter, we will explore the most important settings for both a user and a repository. There are many things you can do to personalize your experience in GitHub and many settings you can change in order to follow a specific workflow with your fellow teammates.

As a user, there is a lot of information you can set up on your user settings page, such as associating more than one email with your account, adding multiple SSH keys, and setting up two-factor authentication.

Similarly, some functionalities of a repository can be set up via its settings page. For example, you can enable or disable the wiki pages, or completely disable the issue tracker.

In this chapter we will cover the following:

  • User settings
  • Repository settings
