Pull Request and Profiles


In Github, a developer creates their own branch, called a fork, by taking a copy of the source code. Once they make their changes to the code, they can submit a pull request. This tells the owner of the code that there’s a change to be reviewed.

When the change is accepted, it is incorporated into the project source code as a change, known as a commit. The number of commits on any given project is a reliable indicator of the activity levels and therefore, the health of a project.

For the last twelve months, aelf has ranked in the top ten blockchain/cryptocurrency projects in terms of Github commits, demonstrating the hard work and commitment of the aelf development team in the leadup to the main net launch.

Profiles make Github a very compelling tool for developers and project leaders alike. Each time a developer successfully logs a commit for any given project, it’s stored against their own personal profile on Github.

So, if a developer submits a pull request for the code of an open-source project that they haven’t worked on before, the project leader can review all of their previous commits before they approve the pull request. Therefore, the Github profile acts as a kind of resumé for programmers, with a log of prior coding work.

Github 101 — Understanding Github and How Aelf Uses It



If you’re not a developer, then chances are you may never have heard of Github. However, it’s a vital technical tool in development, particularly so for blockchain projects. All the code that runs aelf and many other blockchain projects is stored on Github, and there are good reasons why it has become the project management tool of choice.

Version Control with Git



When a team of developers is working together on a project, they need a way of controlling which version of the software is the master copy. Whether there are two or twenty developers, version control is necessary to track all the changes that have been made to the underlying code.

The way this is managed in version control systems is through branching and merging. If a programmer wants to make changes to the master code, then they download a copy from the master code repository and make the changes on their version, without affecting the master code. They can then merge their changes with the master copy once they’re ready to go live.

Git is a system that manages version control. It was developed back in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the software engineer who created the Linux operating system. Linux is open source, so any developer can propose changes to the underlying code. Therefore, Torvalds developed Git as a way of managing version control for the Linux code. Git takes a snapshot of the current version of the code each time there is a change. Changes are known as commits.

By itself, Git is an excellent tool for developers, and according to a Stack Overflow survey, it’s used by more than 87% of all developers. However, it isn’t very user-friendly for non-coders, which is where Github comes in.
