Organizing your programming

[JohnM]

Wow this thread has exploded in the last few hours. Yes, I'm going back to GitHub. We already having an organizational account that we created back in December/January and we used GitHub along with the Windows desktop client up until mid-March, which is when we switched from LabView to C++. I cleaned up the GitHub account yesterday and since I'm about to teach some programming to members of my team, I'm going to have each of them who have not already create a personal GitHub account and add to the organization.

So basically we will be using Git/GitHub rather than the stupid idea I had in the beginning.

Also I went into the organization setting and downgraded everybody's permissions so that they must make pull requests and I must approve them. (Good idea MamaSpoldi)

BrianAtlanta, I'll make sure to distribute that video to everyone.

remulasce, definitely a relevant XKCD. We had to do that a few times. Will include that in tutorials for teaching Git/GitHub.

My plan is to teach programming (C/C++) which I still putting together material for. When teaching I think I'm going to require the entire group I'm teaching (about ten people) to all use GitHub for a final group project, and they vote on a single person to be the master of the repository (accepting reviewing pull requests.) This way I'm teaching programming and they have to use GitHub if they want me to review their work. Any suggestions beyond this or to add to this idea?

I'm currently writing up a document on what GitHub is and how to use it. If anybody would like to help me with it, PM me and I'll give your Google account access.

One last question. I'm currently using the Windows GUI client to work with repositories on GitHub, is there any opposition to that?
