A recap of a recent webinar on how to use the Github collaboration platform for government is available on Youtube.
Github is a free social network where you can maintain and collaborate on projects – not just software – and operates with a versioning system to help manage changes to documents. For example, Project Open Data is a cross-agency initiative hosted on Github that was developed by the White House and looks at how to manage information as an asset.
Noah Kunin, from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, gives an overview of the platformfor government users, covering:
How to create a new issue & reopen old issues
How to assign people
How to search & filter for issues
How to submit a pull request
How to find the history of changes made to the data
