Github

Category : Knowledge Share

Github is a repository for coding version control and collaboration. Since the PIC development team is growing, we are pushing to use Github more and more to maintain a trace of changes made to themes.

PIC Design & Development will use Github for HubSpot, Shopify, and WordPress codes. We have a repository per theme and have collaborators to make changes. Each collaborator has their own account. They are able to add notes to each change they create for clarity and to assist in tracing back adjustments. This will help us to keep track of our code.

This will also make it easier to troubleshoot new bugs since we will know what code was changed and when. We will have all the production sites in Github. At this time, we are exploring the option of using branches for staging and development environments to keep those environments separate.
