This is a guide for all GERMANSTACK learners. Includes approach on how to use GitHub for GERMANSTACK collaboration.
The GERMANSTACK team is designed to aid learners to adopt collaborative work environment as we are concerned with building top-notch developers. A team is expected to complete team challenges as a team. In other words, every member of the team should be carried along, and is expected to make little contributions to the completion of a project.
A team will be nominated by the team. The team leader is been given admin privileges to merge PRs from other team players (i.e. collaborators). A team leader will be voted out if team members collectively agree to a leader being incapacitated to facilitate the affairs of the team. Which includes but not limited to:
- Merging PRs
- Scheduling team meetings for Group Learning
- Sorting out resources to aid completion of a project
- Assigning task to other team members
- Making team members always feeling part of a team
A team is made up by 5 incredible individuals. All team collaboration on GERMANSTACK Github org should ensure to follow the guidelines listed below:
- A team will be created with this format
german-team-1and proceeds in this sequence per-cohort. - A team is also a repo typically like this: https://germanstack/german-team-1.
- A team is completely independent to think on its own but sticking to the rule of a challenge
- A team's project will be grouped into folders e.g.
germanstack/german-team-1/todo-app - It is expected by all team members to fork their team repo and have a clone on their local machine.
- A team's discussion will be done with the team discussion board created for you. It is also expected all planning of team projects is done via Github.
- A team can have other communication channels such as
slack channelsthat will also be created for you. And any other channel best suit for all team members - A team is free to choosing decent avatars for their Github-team
- A team (i.e. repo) will be archived at the end of a cohort
- Forking another team's repo is highly discouraged. We encourage collaboration will also discourage copying someone's effort and taking credits for it.
- A team member can request admin privileges where the team lead is no longer available. Privilege can only be granted on consensus with other team members.
Your individual code challenge completion sits on your GitHub account but it's required to be prefixed with german e.g german-todo-app. This makes sorting for your codes a lot easier from the large todo-app projects on GitHub. It is also expected of you to complete all challenges. These challenges are to better your skills as a developer, and help you get used to the GitHub workflow.
It is also expected every project follows the GitHub-workflow from staging-to-development-before being merged into-master.
Any question regarding the use of GitHub for GERMANSTACK please free to open an issue. As this help creating an issue tracker and developing an FAQ for new learners.
