A Fine Slice Of SQL Server
I finish up a series on GitHub:
In this video, I show off some of the GitHub Advanced Security functionality available to open-source public repositories, and describe what you can get with GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
It’s been fun going through various features in GitHub, but next week, I’ll start a brand new series.
Comments closedSteve Jones breaks out the branch cutters:
As I’ve been working with SQL Saturday and managing changes to events, I’ve accumulated a lot of branches. Even though I’m a solo developer, I decided to use branches, as I expect others to share this load in the future. This post looks at how to start cleaning those up.
As a team gets larger, the necessity of regular branch maintenance increases, but so does the complexity of it: it’s really easy to have one person not pay attention to the e-mails and get burned when old branch deletion en masse does happen.
Comments closedIn this video, I show you how you can prevent people from checking directly into a specific branch, as well as explaining why you might want to enable this feature and how it looks for administrators.
Admittedly, this video would work a bit better with multiple user accounts, but I think I got the general point across.
Comments closedIn this video, I explain what continuous integration (CI) is, disambiguate continuous delivery from continuous deployment (CD), and see how you can perform CI/CD operations using GitHub Actions.
Read on to see what these terms mean and an example of how it all works with .NET projects.
Comments closedIn this video, we look at how to perform Infrastructure as Code in GitHub. We take a Bicep script and generate new Azure resources using it and GitHub Actions.
The video includes a very brief primer on Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and Bicep, and then gets into how you can use GitHub Actions to keep your Azure resources configured the way you expect.
Comments closedOlivier Van Steenlandt fixes an oopsie-doodle:
In the past couple of months, I’ve been doing a lot of different things at the same time. Because of that, it is no exception that I have quite some branches for my Database Projects that I’m working on simultaneously.
Because of this, another issue arises as well, it happens now and then that I’m committing my changes to the wrong branch. Luckily for me, I’m making this mistake by committing directly to my development branch, where the change needs to be done in the end anyway.
Nevertheless, I need to get my change into my feature branch as well. In this data recipe, I will be guiding you through the process.
Click through to see how. If you’re using a GUI like GitHub Desktop or Sourcetree, there are also ways of doing this within the UI.
Comments closedIn this video, cover the GitHub flow. We talk a bit about branching strategies and how GitHub development ought to look in a multi-developer situation.
The GitHub flow is a minor variant from the classical Git flow, but one that works well with the ethos of development specifically in GitHub. It’s often overkill for a single-developer repo, but once you have a team working on a problem, this is a much more efficient approach.
Comments closedIn this video, we dig into GitHub’s process for executing code: GitHub Actions workflows. We’ll learn what Actions and workflows are, how we can create them from scratch, and how to incorporate Actions from the GitHub Marketplace into our own workflows.
Along the way, I describe what GitHub Actions workflows are and we build a simple one. I’ll have more videos coming up that expand on GitHub Actions and show you more of what you can do with them.
Comments closedIn this video, we take a look at what GitHub has for project management, reviewing GitHub Projects and Issues.
The upshot is that GitHub has a fair amount of capability for project management. Its notion of Issues definitely feels fairly well fleshed out, which makes sense considering GitHub’s original purpose as a storehouse for open-source code repositories. By contrast, Projects are a relatively new feature and there’s still some room to grow there, especially if you’re used to project management tools like Jira or Trello.
Comments closedI have started a new video series:
In this video, we take a look at GitHub, centering it in the broader Git community and taking a look at what it takes to fork and clone a GitHub repository.
It’s an intro video, though I think even normal but casual GitHub users will learn a few things along the way.
