OSD600-Release0.4-Overall

In this final blog of open source course, I want to summary how I have learned about Git and GitHub and how I have got involved to open source projects.

First, here is a list of 3 PRs that I have got involved in this release 0.4:

  1. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/24584
  2. https://github.com/seiyria/bootstrap-slider/pull/886
  3. https://github.com/ywpark1/portfolio-generator/pull/23

Second, if you get family with Git and GitHub, you will know that they are some powerful things to open source projects. Many contributors will make their own changes and push their commits to GitHub by using Git commands and how an organizer will control their system through all commits and minimize their jobs through GitHub. I hope this link can help one has a clear understanding about Git and GitHub if one is new to them like me. It is totally different than I imaged. I don't really remember how many time I need to struggle with Git commands in this course. I always make some mistakes and now I can say I learned something from making mistakes. My professor and my friend (Jeffrey Espiritu) always help me when I get stuck. Thank you all a lot. After that, I "maybe" understand how the whole process works because there are lots of git commands that I have not learned yet. In addition to, it sometime takes lots of time for setting environment when I am working on open source projects.

Third, I have got involved to some external and internal open sources projects through 4 releases, such as nodejs, bootstrap-slider, Minimal-Todo app, SenecaBlackboardExtension, portfolio-generator and so on. I tried to do different things in each project to learn something new.

To sum up, open source course relates to spending time and having patience.

In this release 0.3, I have chosen and got involved in two projects, one internal project SenecaBlackboardExtension  and one external project filer . I tried to find some different kind of work, such as adding a link, fixing a bug, modifying a document and writing test. In addition to, I learned about new software Gource  (more information on GitHub:  https://github.com/acaudwell/Gource) . Gource will create a 3D animated tree for source control repositories. Its 3D visualization will show the repository in the centre.  You can see all contributors' name, directories and branches in this tree. I have created one for my SenecaBlackboardExtension project. For first PR, I have added a link, Seneca Help link, in the sign in page. PR: https://github.com/yevseytsev/SenecaBlackboardExtension/pull/33 I added this link because I want everyone can get help easier from sign in page. For second PR, I had been doing a little bit work. I modified the homepage-guest.js file. The code

OSD600_Release0.2 _Hacktoberfest _Summary

Image
During this October, going through Hacktoberfest, working on open sources code, and making five pull requests on GitHub were my learning experience so far. I have tried to work on some projects that I didn't know before, find some issues and make pull requests. A lot of research have been done step by step to finish all of them. Also, dealing with git commands and setting environment to work on the issues were really more difficult than I thought. In my first pull request, I found something to work on this  Interesting-Open-Source-Projects  link. I wanted to work on Android application, so I came to the list and checked some starter projects. On the issues list of Minimal-Todo project, there are many translation supports, so I added Vietnamese translation support issue, and asked permission to work on. I spent around 2 hours to upgrade my Android Studio to test the app on my local machine. Someone already made the issue about the error of setting this environment  on GitHub, so

OSD600-Release0.4-PR2-blog2

In this Pull Request, I have worked on this  bootstrap-slider  project. This is another external project that I have joined for this release 0.4. PR:  https://github.com/seiyria/bootstrap-slider/pull/886 I used HTLM and CSS language to build a table to store all slider examples. This page is really long, so I created some links to link to the specified example parts. Also, I created a link in each example parts to link back to the top. It will be easy for everyone to view this page. I had some problems about the write access in the first time, so I could not run it in my local machine. After I reviewed some feedback of the reviewer, I run these commands to test it npm install node node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt dev To sum up, this page is showing lots of bootstrap slider options that I can learn to prepare for another course project for next semester.
