GitHub Organization

Status of the hydrotrek account

caution

hydrotrek is not an organization. It is just a regular GitHub account. The account acts as an Outside Collaborator to the GQC Organization.

Subscription details

Pro subscription was cancelled as of April 2022.

1. The Pro subscription was used so that GitHub Pages could be used from Private repositories.
2. This approach was bagged as we were not able to find a way which would allow us to add a password on the site (same as Azure Static Web Apps).
3. Deven has found a new solution. The idea is add a simple encryption on top of every HTML page using GitHub Actions.
4. The password to decrypt the site will be stored in the repository settings as a SECRET key. (similar to that of Django)

note

This approach needs to be tried and tested. Would need to ask Sudhir to buy a Pro Tier subscription for the GQC organization.

Current status of the GQC organization

1. It is an organization account in the Free Tier.
2. Feature available in the Free Tier.
3. Unlike Bitbucket, we can have Unlimited contributors and Unlimited repositories.

Reorganization of daily tasks in GitHub Projects

1. Different projects (GitHub's alternative for JIRA Board) have been created.
2. Central ideas behind having a GitHub Project
   1. A single project can encompass different repositories
   2. Each new ticket (issue) created needs to be assigned to a specific repository.
   3. Once assigned to a repository, the ticket (issue) can
      1. include multiple comments
      2. include images, links (all markdown functionality)
      3. be assigned to an individual
      4. have a priority set
      5. have a milestone set as well (deadline)

Example:

• An item (equivalent to a JIRA ticket) (issue) stays in the Draft mode until it is assigned to a specific repository.
• There is an additional column for each item, which indicates on which day the ticket was created.
