In 2018 this was an outline: a title and "Topics to cover and ideas". It was never in the published book, and it is shown exactly as it was left. The second edition fills it from the articles the map names.
Topics to cover and ideas
- use github as your personal back up and time machine
- build on top of Open source
- with a proprietary service on top
- interesting open source challengers:
- GitLab
- Gogs https://github.com/gogits
- amazing innovation, how many times it pushes to production everyday. GH is one of the best development teams in the world
- Github is your CV
- shows how you code, how you interact with others
- your commits and pull requests show your voice
- your accepted pull requests by other Open Source repos (the more popular the better) should go on your CV (they are your badges of honor)
- number of people/projects using your tools ia validation of your skills (much better than LinkedIn recommentation system)
- you should have a long tail of projects and forks (altough beware of the polution caused by forks that you don't contribute to). Keep this curated, since after all it is your research playground
- Github Bug Bounty programme (Gamification)
- use Github commit dashboard (a box for everyday that you did a commit) as a way to check 'how am I doing' (since you don't want to see big periods with no commits (warning: don't go over the top and try to have a commit EVERY day, sometimes it is good to rest and not commit anything)
- Use GitHub projects to understand the Kanban workflow
