| ubuntourist | hi mulbah | 14:49 |
|---|---|---|
| ubuntourist | Sorry I've been bad about remembering to get on. | 14:49 |
| mulbah | How are you doing Mr. Cole | 14:50 |
| ubuntourist | The US is currently on the "crazy train" with today being our election day and it seems like the entire world is watching us. | 14:50 |
| ubuntourist | Everyone I know is desperately hoping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to win the election. | 14:51 |
| mulbah | so you think who will win | 14:52 |
| ubuntourist | But the seeds of misinformation and disinformation have been planted. Before 2000, we would all know who won by Wednesday morning. | 14:53 |
| ubuntourist | Now we live in a world where everyone is suspicious of the results and it will probably be several days before a definite winner is chosen. | 14:54 |
| ubuntourist | I honestly don't know who will win. I want Harris and Walz, and I am surrouded by people who want the same. Many of them are more optimistic than I am. | 14:54 |
| mulbah | oh okay but sometime election have it way of doing things | 14:56 |
| ubuntourist | The capacity for Trump supporters to ignore reality is staggering. They ignore what he's said, they ignore convictions, they ignore COVID deaths, they ignore armed uprisings... | 14:57 |
| ubuntourist | Anyway, enough about that. How is the progress on sys admin stuff and Jeff's "Little Webster" / "Big Brother" project? Any troubles? | 14:58 |
| mulbah | I'm working on it I ask ledmer to give me access to the gitlab where big brother and little webster are hosted | 14:59 |
| ubuntourist | Do you have read access now? | 15:01 |
| ubuntourist | (You probably do: I don't think reading is restricted. I don't think you need permission to view.) | 15:02 |
| ubuntourist | Oops. I need to step away for a minute... | 15:03 |
| mulbah | Yeah I clone the repository and did some editing and still doing it | 15:05 |
| ubuntourist | back now. | 15:09 |
| ubuntourist | Another way to collaborate: | 15:09 |
| ubuntourist | 1. Use GitLab to "fork" the project. (There is an icon in the upper right of the repository's web page) | 15:10 |
| ubuntourist | 2. Clone the fork, not the original. | 15:10 |
| ubuntourist | 3. Make local changes and commit and push your changes to your fork. | 15:11 |
| ubuntourist | 4. Make a "pull request" which asks maintainers of the original to pull changes to your fork and incorporate them into the main repository. | 15:11 |
| mulbah | I already have the code but I want to be able to push to the repository | 15:12 |
| ubuntourist | I have a tutorial that I wrote for myself regarding how to collaborate using forks. I'll look for it. | 15:13 |
| mulbah | Alright | 15:13 |
| mulbah | I read on forking repository ones but a been a long time | 15:14 |
| ubuntourist | Yeah, I understood that is what you've already done. But if you work on projects with people outside of Jetro Web Development | 15:15 |
| ubuntourist | it is usually easier to convince people to accept your pull requests. They will probably never give you direct editing access unless you have demonstrated skills by submitting lots of pull requests. | 15:16 |
| ubuntourist | Pull requests allow a lead developer or a lead development team to evaluate your work and decide whether or not it is worthy of inclusion. | 15:17 |
| ubuntourist | If it is not accepted, it does not mean your code is bad: It may mean that someone else has already submitted the same changes, or that the developers have plans | 15:18 |
| ubuntourist | to take the code in a different direction and your changes will break some future feature that has not yet been implemented. | 15:18 |
| ubuntourist | Or you may be asked to provide documentation or some other feature along with your changes before the pull request is accepted. | 15:19 |
| mulbah | oh I see | 15:21 |
| mulbah | so that why pull is necessary for | 15:22 |
| mulbah | can you share the tutorial you was talking about | 15:27 |
| ubuntourist | Yeah. If you're working in a small group where everyone is a friend, then you are already trusted not to do something too crazy or stupid. So, direct access to the master repository ls less of a threat. | 15:27 |
| ubuntourist | But if you are less experienced than the people who started a project, then their level of trust for you will be lower. So, having a referee or gatekeeper checking your work makes sense. | 15:29 |
| ubuntourist | I will go look for that now. But I learned most of what I wrote from the web. (I think I put links in my tutorial pointing to where I found the information...) | 15:30 |
| ubuntourist | I guess that's all for today. I'll try to remember to check in next week. | 15:33 |
| ubuntourist | ACTION is signing off... | 15:35 |
