GitHub

GitHub is a web-based platform that provides hosting for software development and version control using Git. It allows repositories. GitHub was launched in April 2008 and has since become one of the most popular and widely used platforms for open-source and private software development.

Key features of GitHub include:

1. Version Control: GitHub uses Git, a distributed version control system, to track changes made to code over time. Developers can create branches to work on features or fixes independently, and then merge those changes back into the main codebase.

2. Code Hosting: GitHub hosts Git repositories, allowing developers to store their code and make it accessible to others. This centralization facilitates collaboration and makes it easier for contributors to access and contribute to projects.

3. Collaboration: Developers can collaborate on projects by forking repositories (creating their copy of a project) and submitting pull requests to propose changes. Project maintainers can review these changes and decide whether to merge them into the main codebase.

4. Issue Tracking: GitHub provides a built-in issue tracker where users can report bugs, request new features, or discuss various aspects of a project. This helps in organizing tasks and keeping track of project-related discussions.

5. Community and Social Features: GitHub fosters a strong developer community. Users can follow other developers, star repositories to show appreciation, and participate in discussions through comments and pull requests.

6. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): GitHub allows integration with various CI/CD tools, enabling automated testing and deployment workflows. This ensures that changes introduced by contributors do not break the existing codebase.

7. GitHub Pages: This feature allows users to host static websites directly from their GitHub repositories, making it easy to showcase projects and documentation.

8. Security: GitHub incorporates security features like vulnerability scanning, dependency analysis, and code scanning to help identify potential security risks in repositories.

GitHub has been instrumental in promoting open-source software development and has become a go-to platform for many developers and organizations to collaborate on projects. Additionally, it has a vast ecosystem of third-party integrations and tools, making it even more versatile and powerful for various development workflows.

  What is Design Thinking (DT)? Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process that teams use to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. It is most useful to tackle ill-defined or unknown problems and involves five phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test.   Importance of Design Thinking “Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” - Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO Design thinking  fosters innovation . Companies must innovate to survive and remain competitive in a rapidly changing environment. In design thinking, cross-functional teams work together to understand user needs and create solutions that address those needs. Moreover, the design thinking process h elps unearth creative solutions.     ...

Micro Frontends

  What are Micro Frontends? The term  Micro Frontends  first came up in ThoughtWorks Technology Radar at the end of 2016. It extends the concepts of micro services to the frontend world. The current trend is to build a feature-rich and powerful browser application, aka single page app, which sits on top of a micro service architecture. Over time the frontend layer, often developed by a separate team, grows and gets more difficult to maintain. That’s what we call a  Frontend Monolith . The idea behind Micro Frontends is to think about a website or web app as  a composition of features  which are owned by  independent teams . Each team has a  distinct area of business  or  mission  it cares about and specialises in. A team is  cross functional  and develops its features  end-to-end , from database to user interface. However, this idea is not new. It has a lot in common with the  Self-contained Syste...
