UNIT 5 GitHub
GitHub 📌 Definition GitHub is a web-based platform used for storing, managing, and collaborating on source code using Git. 🔹 Key Features 1. Repository Hosting Stores project files and code online Public and private repositories available 2. Version Control Tracks changes in code Maintains history of modifications 3. Collaboration Multiple developers can work on the same project Supports pull requests and code reviews 4. Branching & Merging Create separate branches for features Merge changes into the main project 5. Issue Tracking Report bugs and track tasks Manage project workflows 6. GitHub Actions Automates workflows (CI/CD pipelines) Build, test, and deploy code automatically 🔹 Common GitHub Terms Repository (Repo) → Storage for project files Commit → Save changes Branch → Separate version of code Merge → Combine changes Pull Request (PR) → Request to merge code 🔹 Basic Workflow Create a repository Clone it to local system Make changes Commit changes Push to GitHub Create pull request Merge changes 🔹 Advantages Easy collaboration Secure code storage Version tracking Integration with CI/CD tools Open-source community support 🔹 Example A team creates a project in GitHub. Developers work on different features using branches and merge them after testing.

Source Code Repository

퇽회 Definition

A Source Code Repository is a centralized place where source code is stored, managed, and version-controlled. It allows developers to track changes, collaborate, and maintain different versions of a project.


퇽훹 Key Features

  • Version Control ᧓ Tracks every change in code
  • Collaboration ᧓ Multiple developers can work together
  • Backup & Recovery ᧓ Stores history of code changes
  • Branching & Merging ᧓ Work on features without affecting main code
  • Access Control ᧓ Manage permissions for users

퇽훹 Types of Repositories

1. Centralized Repository

  • Single central server
  • Example: Apache Subversion

2. Distributed Repository

  • Each developer has a full copy of the repository
  • Example: Git

퇽훹 Popular Source Code Repository Platforms

  • GitHub
  • GitLab
  • Bitbucket

퇽훹 Common Operations

  • Commit ᧓ Save changes
  • Push ᧓ Upload changes to repository
  • Pull ᧓ Download updates
  • Branch ᧓ Create a separate line of development
  • Merge ᧓ Combine changes

퇽훹 Importance

  • Ensures code integrity and history tracking
  • Enables team collaboration
  • Supports CI/CD pipelines
  • Helps in rollback and debugging

퇽훹 Example

A team uses GitHub to store project code. Developers create branches, make changes, and merge them into the main branch after testing.
