the dots in a github repository how to start this course step 1 resolve duplicate issues creating references ️ activity find and close the cross linked issue step 2 find a commit in history what s git blame what s a secure hash algorithm sha ️ activity find commit in history step 3 fix a broken sidebar finding a pull request from a commit ️ activity fix a broken sidebar finish congratulations friend you ve completed this course what s next readme md connect the dots in a github repository have you ever worked in a repository with a lot of history perhaps you ve had to track down related issues and pull requests in the past or you ve had to find who committed a particular change if you ve ever found yourself in any of these situations you ll know how important it is to navigate your workspace who is this for developers github users users new to git students managers and teams what you ll learn find relevant issues and pull requests search history to find context make connections within github to help others find things what you ll build repository with existing commits duplicated issues and a content defect to be fixed prerequisites before you take this course you may want to go through the github quickstart introduction on github docs and introduction to github course on github skills how long this course is three steps long and takes less than 15 min to complete how to start this course above these instructions right click use this template and open the link in a new tab in the new tab follow the prompts to create a new repository choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository we recommend creating a public repository private repositories will use actions minutes after your new repository is created wait about 20 seconds then refresh the page follow the step by step instructions in the new repository s readme step 1 resolve duplicate issues github has special capabilities to help reference other information on github for example when you reference another issue or pull request by number that number will be hyperlinked at the same time a cross reference is created in the linked issue or pull request this two way reference helps people track the relationship of information across github with collaboraration from multiple team members sometimes issues can be duplicated in the above example the new issue 8346 is a duplicate of a previous issue 8249 the cross reference ability allows you to track these duplications and close issues when appropriate creating references when you link to another issue a reference within github is automatically created in fact you don t even need to include the full link if you were to type 5 within a comment that would turn into a link to issue or pull request number 5 when you want to create a crosslink start typing the title of an issue or pull request directly after you type the symbol github will suggest issues or pull requests that will link to the right place to learn even more check out the autolinked references and urls article ️ activity find and close the cross linked issue navigate to the issue 1 welcome type duplicate of 2 as a comment and close issue 1 wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page for the next step step 2 find a commit in history an important part of version control is the ability to look into the past by using git blame and finding the story behind a commit we re able to do more than blame people for code we re able to see the story around why a commit was made what is the associated pull request who approved the pull request what tests were run on that commit before it was merged the obvious reason to find things in history is to know about the history with issues and pull requests we see a more complete story about about the history not just just the bare minimum what s git blame git blame is a git functionality that shows what revision and author last modified each line of a file information like who made a commit when and even why can be found this way if you aren t sure who introduced certain changes to a file you can use git blame to find out while git blame sounds rather accusatory this can be used to understand the context around decisions what s a secure hash algorithm sha a sha is a reference to a specific object in this case it s a reference to a commit on github you can look at a specific commit to see the changes introduced by whom and if they were a part of a pull request ️ activity find commit in history navigate to the code tab of your repository tip you may have previously created your repository in a new tab click docs to navigate into the docs directory click _sidebar md to view the file on the top right side of the file click blame to see the details of the most recent revision click the commit message add sidebar to documentation to see the commit details copy the first seven characters of the sha the first 7 characters of the 40 character hexadecimal string listed after commit comment on issue 2 by adding the sha from step 6 as a comment text and click on comment button wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page for the next step step 3 fix a broken sidebar thanks for finding that commit we now know that the sidebar was indeed added and it was done in that commit let s see if we can dig a little deeper to find out if any planning or conversation using comments occurred around this change as we ve already seen conversations in issues and pull requests can reference other work but the amount of context goes much further than crosslinks remember git is version control for example the commit that you found in the last step is connected with much more information such as who made the commit what other changes were included when the commit was made which pull request the commit was a part of the pull request is important because it goes beyond knowing when a commit happened you can know why a commit happened finding history is not about blaming anyone but about seeing the bigger picture why were decisions made who was involved what were the build outputs and test results for each commit who requested changes and who approved them finding a pull request from a commit when you re looking at a commit on github you can see a lot of information from this view you can also find a link to the pull request in which the commit was created we ll use this in the next step ️ activity fix a broken sidebar in the main branch edit the docs _sidebar md file correct the spelling of the reference doc references__ md on line 4 by changing it into doc references md select or create a new branch fix sidebar for this commit and start a pull request make sure that main is selected for base and fix sidebar for compare using the assignees section on the right side assign yourself to the pull request in the pr comment add closes 2 and autolink issue 2 click create pull request and wait about 20 seconds merge this pull request delete the branch fix sidebar refresh this page for the next step finish congratulations friend you ve completed this course in this course you ve learned a lot about finding and sharing information within a github repository you can find history about what changes were made and more importantly why changes were made what s next check out these resources to learn more or get involved are you a student check out the student
