Collaborative Development using Git and GitHub
Adding Test and Continuous Integration with Travis-CI and AppVeyor
About the Book
Git is the de-facto standard Version Control System for Open Source projects and one of the most popular VCS for proprietary projects as well. GitHub is the most popular cloud-based hosting solution for projects using Git.
Reading this book and following the exercises will teach you how to use Git and GitHub to contribute to projects using these technologies. You will learn how to write automated unit and integration tests and how to set up Continuous Integration to run these tests on every change.
There are several exercises that will teach you how to fork a project and send a Pull-request. How to follow a project that makes progress while you are working on your contribution. During the course of the book you will also contribute to a number of Open Source projects.
You will learn how to set up Continuous Integration using Travis-CI and Appveyor.
